Review comment:
       I think we need a wider catch here, and it could be good to alert on 
unexpected errors as in
   ```python
   except NotImplementedError:
       # It's expected that some dialects don't implement the comment fetching 
method
       pass
   except Exception as e:
       logging.error("Unexpected error while fetching table comment")
       logging.exception(e)
   ```
