Can someone tell me how to create a multi-line table or column comment?
Apparently, the concatenate operator (||) does not work with the COMMENT statement.
I've searched the Oracle manuals and couldn't find an answer.
COMMENT ON TABLE sometbl IS 'i would like to break up this comment into several lines in order to improve readability';
Effectively, this is what I'd like to do (but it doesn't work):
COMMENT ON TABLE sometbl IS
'i would like to break up ' || CHAR(10) ||
'this comment into several lines ' || CHAR(10) ||
'in order to improve readability' || CHAR(10);
Oracle version is 10.2.0.4
