    I think I already know the answer but asking here is probably
    quicker turnaround than researching it.<br>
    <br>
    I've gotten into a "view bloat" scenario with many many custom views
    that I cannot remember what they actually do.=C2=A0 Is there any psql=

    function/command to add a description field to a table or view
    definition in the system?=C2=A0 Would be nice to have a one line gene=
ral
    text note capability to quickly see what a complicated view does
    when looking at the defintion via <br>
    # \dv+<br>
    <br>
    Looks like the command has the field present, but not sure how to
    populate it.<br>
    <br>
    am using PostgreSQL 13.xx in Debian.<br>
