PG_SHDESCRIPTION
PG_SHDESCRIPTION records optional comments for shared database objects. Descriptions can be manipulated with the COMMENT command and viewed with the \d command.
See also PG_DESCRIPTION, which provides a similar function for descriptions involving objects within a single database.
PG_SHDESCRIPTION is shared among all databases of a database instance. That is, there is only one PG_SHDESCRIPTION for each instance, not for each database.
Name | Type | Reference | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
objoid | oid | Any OID column | OID of the described object. |
classoid | oid | oid in PG_CLASS | OID of the system catalog where the object appears. |
description | text | - | Description of the object. |
