Listers,

Just wanted to get a general opinion on using comments in the database. For example COMMENT ON COLUMN table.column "No comment".

Does anyone do this as a regular best practice? I would prefer to see this abstraction in a data model, maybe not pushed to the database layer, especially since not all RDBMS engines have "comment" functionality.

The thought is we should do this for every column, every table, every oracle db. This ends up being several million comments added to the our various instances.
