All, I've faced problems while adding <subj> into trunk.
For procedure parameters, the syntax is: COMMENT ON PARAMETER <proc name>.<param name> IS <text> However, procedures and functions have different namespaces, so there may be a function and its input parameter with exactly the same names. Thus this syntax doesn't look suitable for functions. Other options, as I see them, are underneath. 1) Extend the syntax but preserve backward compatibility via default: COMMENT ON [{PROCEDURE | FUNCTION}] PARAMETER ... if the keyword is omitted, procedure parameter is implied. But user mistakes are possible in this case. 2) Introduce a separate keyword: COMMENT ON ARGUMENT <func name>.<param name> This matches the system table name (RDB$FUNCTION_ARGUMENTS) but we already use the keyword PARAMETER in the syntax RETURNS PARAMETER <n> in the UDF declaration, so having the same thing named differently doesn't look nice. Any other ideas?
