Getting list of table comments in PostgreSQL

Question

Postgresql allows adding comments to objects such as tables. For example I\'ve added a comment to table \"mytable\" by using this SQL command:

COMMENT ON TAB         


        

Answer 1

You can use pg_catalog.obj_description function and information_schema.tables schema view:

SELECT t.table_name, pg_catalog.obj_description(pgc.oid, 'pg_class')
FROM information_schema.tables t
INNER JOIN pg_catalog.pg_class pgc
ON t.table_name = pgc.relname 
WHERE t.table_type='BASE TABLE'
AND t.table_schema='public';
