Using meaningful names for table columns

[Doug Palme <DPalme@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am creating a DDL for a new table, and have been going through the SQL 
reference guide trying to figure out how I can give a field a more 
meaningful name, sort of like how I do it in DDS.  Is there a way to 
define a column (field) with something like the TEXT('blah blah') that we 
use in a DDS?
