Hi developers! Hi Dave!
Using pgAdmin III v1.6.1 rev: 5709, client Win XP. Host Debian Sarge, PG
8.1.4.
In the object browser comments are appended to the columns of a table
definition, which is useful.
But it looks like those comments are cut off after the first line break.
Simple test case:
CREATE TABLE test
(
a integer -- First line of comment
)
WITHOUT OIDS;
COMMENT ON COLUMN test.a IS 'First line of comment
Second line.
Third line of comment.';
psql gives unabbreviated comments:
\d+ test
Maybe this happens on purpose to shorten lengthy comments. But then
again, a better way would probably be to print the first x (200?)
characters (substituting spaces for linebreaks) and append ' ...' if
there is more.
This is not a major problem, but misleading sometimes. Might be easy to fix.
I remember similar (graver) problems with line breaks in 1.6 beta, which
you fixed. Looks like this one got away.
Regards
Erwin
