Hi Roman,
Comments are stored in the system catalog table pg_description. To select a
column comment ("description" in pg_description) you need the specify the
objoid for the table ("relfilenode" from pg_class for the table in question)
and the column number ("objsubid").
test=# select description from pg_description where objoid = 306461 and
objsubid = 0;
description
