Hi Thim,

> Is there any way of adding comments that will be stored with the metadata?

Yes, most objects (tables, views, columns, procedure, procedure-parameters,
exceptions, indices) support comments via a column RDB$DESCRIPTION
in the system tables.

Most developer tools allow you to enter a description - Database Workbench
does as well - and there are a couple of other (free?) tools to show/print
these descriptions. Check www.ibphoenix.com for a list.


With regards,
