Is there a way to rename a column in a table that has uppercase characters to lower case? I tried to do it like in the following example, but I get an error saying the column already exists: dbadmin=> create table t (Capital_Letter int); CREATE TABLE dbadmin=> \d t; List of Fields by Tables Schema |...

Comments on table columns

Howdy! I am new to to the forums. Please be gentle. Can I add comments to table columns? I see in the docs we can add comments to projection columns but I want a high level comment, just on the table. Is that possible?
