What gets me with Pg's COMMENT ON is the way the comments have to be
separate from, and after, the objects they refer to. IMO it'd be
significantly preferable to have something like:
CREATE TABLE X (
somepk integer primary key,
cost numeric(10,2) COMMENT 'blah blah',
);
.. with a similar clause for CONSTRAINT.
Is there any particular objection to doing things this way? Or is it
just that nobody's been inclined to implement it (and fair enough, too) ?
