By default POD will be generated for columns and relationships, using database
metadata for the text if available and supported.
-Reading database metadata (e.g. C<COMMENT ON TABLE some_table ...>) is only
-supported for Postgres right now.
+Comment metadata can be stored in two ways.
+
+The first is that you can create two tables named C<table_comments> and
+C<column_comments> respectively. They both need to have columns named
+C<table_name> and C<comment_text>. The second one needs to have a column
+named C<column_name>. Then data stored in these tables will be used as a
+source of metadata about tables and comments.
+
+(If you wish you can change the name of these tables with the parameters
+L</table_comments_table> and L</column_comments_table>.)
+
+As a fallback you can use built-in commenting mechanisms. Currently this is
+only supported for PostgreSQL, Oracle and MySQL. To create comments in
+PostgreSQL you add statements of the form C<COMMENT ON TABLE some_table IS
+'...'>, the same syntax is used in Oracle. To create comments in MySQL you add
+C<COMMENT '...'> to the end of the column or table definition. Note that MySQL
+restricts the length of comments, and also does not handle complex Unicode
+characters properly.
Set this to C<0> to turn off all POD generation.
The default is C<60>
