By default POD will be generated for columns and relationships, using database
metadata for the text if available and supported.
-Metadata can be stored in two ways.
+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
(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 and MySQL. To create comments in
-PostgreSQL you add statements of the form C<COMMENT ON TABLE some_table ...>.
-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.
+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

Set this to C<0> to turn off all POD generation.
