What tool, or tools, do you intend to use?

Oracle provides a 'SQL' command "COMMENT ON" as described in the documentation.

(Since you asked, since you use the term 'field' instead of 'column', and since you seem to be referring to the database and not front end screens built using something like Access or PHP, I assume you don't read Oracle documentation, but here's the link in case you are ever curious:

http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/statements_410a.htm#2119723)

However, if you use tools like Oracle Discoverer as well as many CASE or Design tools, you will find they have a descriptive entry 'field' to capture the same info.
