What database has?
To clarify: The registry is a database for OS or application stuff (caches, settings, etc.). It's not meant to be user-editable and outside arcane trouble-shooting stuff you're unlikely to ever have to venture in there.
- zajd 10y ago> It's not meant to be user-editable I think that's kind of a stretch since regedit has been a part of windows as long as I can remember.
- emodendroket 10y agoI'd say regedit is not really the preferred method for anyone to interact with the registry though.
- chungy 10y agoI'd say that regedit is integral to day-to-day use of Windows.
- emodendroket 10y agoWell I don't know what in the world you're doing but I almost never use it.

"Use the COMMENT statement to add a comment about a table, view, materialized view, or column into the data dictionary." https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_4009.htm https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/state...

- Pxtl 10y agoAlso mssql, the extended property ms_description can be applied to objects and columns and appears in SSMS as comments.
- gayprogrammer 10y ago> arcane troubleshooting stuff ... is exactly the reason to have useful comments in there.
- Pxtl 10y agoConfig files do, which is what the Registry replaces.
