All

        The powers that be have it in their minds that there is a place for comments on each "column" in a table. afaik.. comments are only associated with tables not columns

Eg
Select * from user_tab_comments;

People here seem to think they can "document" their columns by comments.

Maybe I'm just burnt out... or am I missing something? A sanity check please.

Also, is there a relatively easy way to maintain comments?

Thanks!
bob
