Unfortunately I can't help with this.

Comments are stored in pg_catalog.pg_description. If there is an entry for your
table then it has comments, otherwise not.
Example:
SELECT * FROM pg_description WHERE objoid = to_regclass('survey_control');
objoid | classoid | objsubid |
description
---------+----------+----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2523030 | 1259 | 0 | Main table for survey management and control.
2523030 | 1259 | 1 | The name of the survey.
2523030 | 1259 | 2 | The year of conduction.
[...]
For tables the objsubid is 0 for the table comment and 1..n for column
description. The number refers to the position of the column in the table.
Hope this helps.
