It is a pretty obvious suggestion I bet was made many, many times
before, but it would be very useful if you could create comments while
creating the objects themselves, like
CREATE TABLE FOO ( ID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY COMMENT 'The ID', VALUE VARCHAR(10) COMMENT 'The value',
) COMMENT 'The table';
This would be a good thing as it would make documenting schemas more
in-your-face and less prone to forgetting (ie, atm, if you do want to
comment on rows you effectively wind up with two table definitions
(kinda)).
Perhaps this is a small enough add to make it into 8.3?
