User Can Create Dictionaries and Databases with Comments

Why it matters

This feature allows users to document their dictionaries and databases directly within the metadata. Adding comments improves maintainability and clarity by providing context about the purpose or contents of these objects, making it easier for teams to understand their structure and usage.

How to use it

To add a comment when creating a dictionary, include the COMMENT 'your comment' clause in the CREATE DICTIONARY statement. Similarly, to comment a database, add COMMENT 'your comment' in the CREATE DATABASE statement. For example:

CREATE DICTIONARY dict_name ... COMMENT 'This dictionary stores user data';

CREATE DATABASE db_name COMMENT 'This database contains analytics data';
