Not sure how worthwhile others will find this small patch (to CVS HEAD), but we found it useful. It adds the column comments to the information_schema.columns view.
This question has been touched on before, but I guess it's time to face it fair and square: is it reasonable for an SQL implementation to add implementation-specific columns to an information_schema view? One could certainly argue that the entire point of information_schema is to be *standard*, not more, not less. OTOH I do not know if adding an extra column is likely to break anyone's application. Comments?
Well, I suppose it reduces application portability if anyone starts relying on it.
