What is the trick for displaying column comments in views?
The query below works as expected when the table_schema includes tables,
however it shows nothing when the table_schema contains only views. I
tried putting the query into an inline statement as a column selection
in a wrapper query...I got all the table/column data but the comment
column values were all null.
There must be a way to display comments if I can display the
table/column definitions, especially since the query joins directly to
information_schema columns. What am I missing?
Thanks for your help!
