feat: load column description from db. #120

Closed yassun7010 closed 6 months ago

dbt does not officially support column comments in Column class. Therefore, the column description in sources of schema.yml generated from database information is always empty.

However, if a database adapter supports column comments, we will give you the ability to add column comments. I will work to get dbt-core to support this feature.

It would be great if dbt-osmosis would automatically fetch comments from the database when we add a source name to schema.yml.

What do you think about this?
