pg_shdescription
The pg_shdescription system catalog table stores optional descriptions (comments) for shared database objects.
Descriptions can be manipulated with the COMMENT command and viewed with \d psql meta-commands.
See also pg_description, which performs a similar function for descriptions involving objects within a single database.
Unlike most system catalogs, pg_shdescription is shared across all databases of a Greengage DB system: there is only one copy of pg_shdescription per system, not one per database.
