Description
Type: Feature Request
There is no way to view comments on tables, columns, etc. in the object explorer view. Also the "Script as create" option on objects (eg. tables) does not seem to bring over existing comments. See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-comment.html
Extension version: 1.6.0
VS Code version: Code 1.101.2 (2901c5ac6db8a986a5666c3af51ff804d05af0d4, 2025-06-24T20:27:15.391Z)

Start with the object explorer view and the “Script as create” option described in the issue, then consult the PostgreSQL COMMENT documentation linked there. Done means comments on tables, columns, and similar objects can be viewed and edited, and generated create scripts preserve existing comments.
