Can I comment schema in MySQL Workbench?

Is it possible to put some comments on the databases (i.e., Schema) in MySQL Workbench? It has a menu for commenting tables but I can't find an option for commenting databases.

Thanks,

  • I doubt it. The comment input box is not enabled in workbench and adding a comment is not part of the CREATE DATABASE syntax. Also, the information_schema.schemata view doesn't have a comments column (unlike tables and columns) so I don't know how workbench would show it back to you.
