Hope that helps,

Subject: [GENERAL] how to see column comments?
Hello,
I have not been able to get psql to show column comments in version
7.1beta4. Am I doing anything wrong, or is this a bug? A transcript of my
psql session is below.
Norm
------------------------------------------------------------------
norman=# create table test_table (col1 integer);
CREATE
norman=# comment on table test_table is 'this is a table comment';
COMMENT
norman=# \dd test_table
Object descriptions
Name | Object | Description
------------+-------------+-------------------------
test_table | relation(r) | this is a table comment
(1 row)
norman=# comment on column test_table.col1 is 'this is a column comment';
COMMENT
norman=# \dd test_table.col1
Object descriptions
Name | Object | Description
------+--------+-------------
(0 rows)
