Hello,
I'm using OpenACS (http://www.openacs.org), which defines comments on
tables and columns as follows:
comment on table parties is ' Party is the supertype of person and organization. It exists because many other types of
objectcan have relationships to parties.
';
comment on column parties.url is ' We store url here so that we can always make party names hyperlinks without joining
toany other table.
';
Note the new line after the first quote in each of the above examples.
This is done for readability in the sql scripts that define the
comments. The result in PGAdmin, however, is that the comments are
illegible; only the top half of each character is displayed, as the
newline eats most of the comment display space.
One solution is the old
"Doctor, it hurts when I do this."
"Well, don't do that!"
answer: re-format all comments in sql scripts to not include leading
whitespace. If it were just my own code I'd do this, but this is a
large, well-established open-source project and code like this is
sprinkled throughout. There are probably other projects that define
comments in a similar way.
I wonder if you'd consider stripping leading whitespace from all
comments before displaying them in PgAdmin?
Thanks for writing such a great tool!
Frank
