Description:
As we know, table comments are limited to 60 symbols. This is not enough to describe how a table will be used in the system, so I would like to have a possibility to enter arbitrary-length comments to any table without exporting them to MySQL. Many people are using the schema that I am creating, so it would be very convenient if I could incorporate some explanations for them straight into the EER diagram.

How to repeat:

Thank you for a reasonable feature request.

I would like to piggy back on the original poster's request, and request an option to also exclude comments for the columns of a table(not just the table itself).  There are situations where I want to have detailed explanations in the diagram and workbench project, but want to exclude from the CREATE SQL scripts.
