COMMENT

Updated on 2022-07-29 GMT+08:00

Function

COMMENT defines or changes the comment of an object.

Precautions

  • Only one comment string is stored for each object. To modify a comment, issue a new COMMENT command for the same object. To remove a comment, write NULL in place of the text string. Comments are automatically deleted when their objects are deleted.
  • Currently, there is no security protection for viewing comments. Any user connected to a database can view all the comments for objects in the database. For shared objects such as databases, roles, and tablespaces, comments are stored globally so any user connected to any database in the cluster can see all the comments for shared objects. Therefore, do not put security-critical information in comments.
  • For most kinds of objects, only the owner of objects can set the comment. Roles do not have owners, so the rule for COMMENT ON ROLE is that you must be administrator to comment on an administrator role, or have the CREATEROLE permission to comment on non-administrator roles. An administrator can comment on anything.
