描述

COMMENT存储关于一个数据库对象的注释。

对每一个对象只保存一个注释字符串，因此为了修改一段注释，对同一个对象发出一个新的COMMENT命令。要移除一段注释，可在文本字符串的位置上写上NULL。当对象被删除时，其注释也会被自动删除。

对大部分类型的对象，只有对象的拥有者可以设置注释。角色没有拥有者，因此 COMMENT ON ROLE的规则是你必须作为一个超级用户来对一个超级用户角色设置注释，或者具有CREATEROLE特权来对非超级用户角色设置注释。同样的，访问方法也没有拥有者，你必须作为一个超级用户来对一个访问方法设置注释。当然，一个超级用户可以对任何东西设置注释。

使用psql的\d 命令家族可以查看注释。其他检索注释的用户接口可以构建在 psql使用的内建函数之上，即 obj_description、col_description 以及shobj_description （见表）。

参数

object_name relation_name.column_name aggregate_name constraint_name function_name operator_name policy_name procedure_name routine_name rule_name trigger_name: 要被注释的对象的名称。表、聚集、排序方式、转换、域、外部表、函数、索引、操作符、操作符类、操作符族、存储过程、例程、序列、统计信息、文本搜索对象、类型和视图的名称可以被模式限定。在注释一列时， relation_name必须引用一个表、视图、组合类型或者外部表。
table_name domain_name: 当在一个约束、触发器、规则或者策略上创建一段注释时，这些参数指定在其上定义该对象的表或域的名称。
source_type: 造型的源数据类型的名称。
target_type: 造型的目标数据类型的名称。
argmode: 一个函数，存储过程或者聚集函数的参数的模式：IN、 OUT、INOUT或者VARIADIC。如果被省略，默认值是IN。注意 COMMENT并不真正关心 OUT参数，因为决定函数的身份只需要输入参数。因此列出IN、INOUT和VARIADIC 参数就足够了。
argname: 一个函数，存储过程或者聚集函数参数的名称。注意 COMMENT并不真正关心参数名称，因为决定函数的身份只需要参数数据类型。
argtype: 一个函数，存储过程或者聚集函数参数的数据类型。
large_object_oid: 大对象的 OID。
left_type right_type: 操作符的参数的数据类型（可以是模式限定的）。对一个前缀后后缀操作符的缺失参数可以写NONE。
PROCEDURAL: 这是一个噪声词。
type_name: 该转换的数据类型的名称。
lang_name: 该转换的语言的名称。
text: 写成一个字符串的新注释。如果要删除注释，写成NULL。

注解

当前对查看注释没有安全机制：任何连接到一个数据库的用户能够看到该数据库中所有对象的注释。对于数据库、角色、表空间这类共享对象，注释被全局存储，因此连接到集簇中任何数据库的任何用户可以看到共享对象的所有注释。因此，不要在注释中放置有安全性风险的信息。

示例

为表mytable附加一段注释：

COMMENT ON TABLE mytable IS 'This is my table.';

移除它：

COMMENT ON TABLE mytable IS NULL;
