Field Comment, table comment set by mapping support feature request about exposed HOT 3 OPEN

@Aileron1410 , there is no standard sql syntax to add comments to table/column, so it may to take time to research the way it's required for each DBMS.

Also there is no generic way to retrieve comment information with jdbc metadata, so it might be hard to track comment mapping changes with what exists in database.

Is it really useful to keep comments in database with "code first" approach? Maybe just comment it in code or create comprehensible field names?

Andrey, thank you for your reply, you're right, we can develop without it,
and if it is hard to realise, it is not necessary

One could use them in many other places. Generate docs for example. Wrap your DB with some rest and show comments there, etc.
"there is no standard sql syntax to add comments to table/column"
DBeaver does it somehow. I believe it uses jdbc drivers, so it should be possible
