title: MySQL Table Comment Spanning Multiple Lines
body: <p>When creating a table in MySQL we can specify a comment.</p>
  
  <p>Is anyone aware of a way to have the string passed to <code>COMMENT =</code> span multiple lines?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried using a local variable that is the result of a CONCAT and also have tried using string literal syntax like <code>'foo ' 'bar ' 'baz'</code></p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE TABLE foo (
      id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
      PRIMARY KEY (id)
  ) COMMENT = 'some really long string that we want to span multiple lines instead of being limited to a single line';
  </code></pre>
