Via System i Navigator...
I run [ select * from sysibm.sqlcolumns ]. I can see the column_text
field. There is text in this field.
"comment on" and "label on" do not touch it...
[ select table_schem, table_name, remarks, table_text from
sysibm.sqltables ]
sysibm.sqltables has remarks and table_text. COMMENT ON TABLE
schema.table IS "Table Comment" changes REMARKS and LABEL ON TABLE
schema.table IS "Table Label" changes TABLE_TEXT.
COMMENT ON COLUMN schema.table.column IS "Field Comment" Runs ins System
i Navigator without an error. LABEL ON COLUMN schema.table.column IS
"Field Label" also Runs ins System i Navigator without an error.
But neither change COLUMN_TEXT.
WebSmart also shows a Heading1 column... which is the same as
column_text. But it does not show up in a select *.
I want to give my admins the ability to update the Remarks and Texts to
better describe the tables and fields.
So thus far I can display and change a Tables Remarks and Table_Text fields.
But I can only display a Fields Column_Text. I can not update it. And I
have no idea what Comment ON and Label ON have done to the table and
column I tried to update, even though the executed SQL was reported to
have ran successfully.
I need one of you genius detectives on this case to solve the mystery.
Thanks,
Rob
