Use the COMMENTstatement to add a comment about a table, view, materialized view, or column into the data dictionary. To drop a comment from the database, set it to the empty string ' '. In Sass permalink In Sass. Comments in the indented syntax work a little differently: they’re indentation-based, just like the rest of the syntax. Like SCSS, silent comments written with // are never emitted as CSS, but unlike SCSS everything indented beneath the opening // is also commented out. Indented syntax comments that start with /. work with indentation the same way, except that. Notes can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. They vary, and their uses are completely up to the person writing the code. However, I try to keep things consistent in my code that way it's easy for the next person to read. So something like this might help.
