That seems like a pretty reasonable idea, at least from where I sit. > Looking forward, we may want to do the following: > > 1.

Make it so comments are appended not replaced. Having COMMENT ON accept a general query whose result is then cast to text and stored as the comment would allow this to be done, eg: COMMENT ON table IS (pg_get_comment('table') || ' new text'); We could also have new syntax along these lines, for this specific case: COMMENT ON table ADD ' new text'; Though we have this pretty powerful language, seems a bit of a shame to invent something new for working with comments.
