Hello! I am writing about the issues: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/13867 https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/18468
I am not the author of these issues, but I think this feature is interesting to have in the ORM. I agree that we should not do things just because we can make! In the source code often put comments to clarify things. These comments for the same project developer or someone who looks at the source code are often useful to know how something works or understand something that is not entirely clear. In SQL's absolutely the same case. Sometimes you need to make comments on both tables to clarify the purpose and functionality, and in columns. All assume that if you want to understand something, look at the source code, but this may not always be so. Right now, the behavior to make comments can be emulated using sql fixtures. And it has these drawbacks: * Is not portable between different database backends, 3 files need to write redundant for this in mysql, postgresql and sqlite (sqlite does not natively support comments, but you can emulate sql http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7426205/sqlite comments -adding-comments-to-tables-and-columns ) * It is more tedious to write SQL statements and you end up not making the comments. Is a low priority feature (obviously) but I think it's something that could facilitate the ORM. My first proposal is: Comments to model tables (for mysql, postgresql and sqlite3) as the first patch. Without any kind of magic by django, a simple attribute "comment" on object "Meta".
