Re: Using meaningful names for table columns

I am creating a DDL for a new table, and have been going through the SQL reference guide trying to figure out how I can give a field a more meaningful name, sort of like how I do it in DDS. Is there a way to define a column (field) with something like the TEXT('blah blah') that we use in a DDS?
