If when creating a database I use another user-defined database as a template I would like the option for the comment on the template database to also exist for the new database. Am I correct in thinking there is no feature for this, perhaps because the global nature of pg_shdescription?
For an example of the default behavior:
CREATE DATABASE test_comment_template; COMMENT ON DATABASE test_comment_template IS 'hello world';
CREATE DATABASE test_comment WITH TEMPLATE test_comment_template;
SELECT oid, datname, shobj_description(oid, 'pg_database') FROM pg_database WHERE datname LIKE 'test_comment%';
oid | datname | shobj_description --------+-----------------------+------------------- 828611 | test_comment_template | hello world 828612 | test_comment |
