Description:
IBM DB2 and MySQL have comments for tables and columns. Nevertheless
the MySQL Migration toolkit ignores these comments during migration, even for the migration MySQL to MySQL.

We are working with really huge databases (> 500 tables, no database schema design, no foreign keys), thus, the migration of existing comments would be very, very helpful. After migration of the schema, we will use DBDesigner resp. MySQL Workbench, to rework the schema with all relationships.

How to repeat:
Simply migrate a database schema with comments.

Thank you for a reasonable feature request.

The plan is to implement this after porting MySQL Migration Toolkit into Workbench

Triage: Let it as it was and set IO = 0 because it is a feature request

The new Migration Wizard has this feature. It's new (and documented), so a changelog entry is not applicable. Status->Closed.
