column_name,
data_type,
is_nullable,
description.description as comment
from
information_schema.columns columns
left join pg_class class on (columns.table_name = class.relname)
left join pg_description description on (class.oid = description.objoid)
left join pg_attribute attrib on (class.oid = attrib.attrelid and columns.column_name = attrib.attname and attrib.attnum = description.objsubid)
where

You can receive column comments in SQL:

SELECT a.attname AS column, d.description AS COMMENT
FROM pg_class c
JOIN pg_description d ON c.oid=d.objoid
JOIN pg_attribute a ON c.oid = a.attrelid
WHERE c.relname=’monitors’
AND a.attnum = d.objsubid
