Question

How to add comment to table (ot column) in Laravel 5 migration?

I currently know how to add comment to column like:

$table->tinyInteger('status')->comment('0: requested; -1: rejected; 1:confirmed');

But what about table?

Answer 1

Currently, Laravel does not allow (does not have functionality) to put comment on tables, so You have to use workaround in Your migration:

DB::statement("ALTER TABLE `<YOUR_TABLE>` comment '<COMMENT>'");

Answer 2

For now there are no any option exist to add table comment like column add but then after you want to add the comment to table than you must have to use "DB" to add the comment to table.

For Example,

If you want to add the comment to website table then through below Syntax you can add the comment to table.

DB::select("ALTER TABLE website COMMENT = 'This table contains the website information for the application'");

NOTE: Before use above line you must have migrated website/ your table then n than you can use this.
