描述

COMMENT 向一個對像裡增加評注，這個評注可以很容易用 psql 的 \dd 命令檢索出來。要刪除一個評注，使用 NULL。當刪除對像時，評注自動被刪除掉。

用法

給表 mytable　加評注：

COMMENT ON mytable IS 'This is my table.';

一些例子：

COMMENT ON DATABASE my_database IS 'Development Database';
COMMENT ON INDEX my_index IS 'Enforces uniqueness on employee id';
COMMENT ON RULE my_rule IS 'Logs UPDATES of employee records';
COMMENT ON SEQUENCE my_sequence IS 'Used to generate primary keys';
COMMENT ON TABLE my_table IS 'Employee Information';
COMMENT ON TYPE my_type IS 'Complex Number support';
COMMENT ON VIEW my_view IS 'View of departmental costs';
COMMENT ON COLUMN my_table.my_field IS 'Employee ID number';
COMMENT ON AGGREGATE my_aggregate float8 IS 'Computes sample variance';
COMMENT ON FUNCTION my_function (datetime) IS 'Returns Roman Numeral';
COMMENT ON OPERATOR ^ (text, text) IS 'Performs intersection of two text';
COMMENT ON TRIGGER my_trigger ON my_table IS 'Used for R.I.';
