URL: https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/20667#issuecomment-1396108798

   So pulling an [example from the Django docs](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/models/fields/#enumeration-types):
   ```python
   class Card(models.Model):
   
       class Suit(models.IntegerChoices):
           DIAMOND = 1
           SPADE = 2
           HEART = 3
           CLUB = 4
   
       suit = models.IntegerField(choices=Suit.choices)
   ```
   
   The `suit` column is stored as an integer from `1`-`4` however you lose the context of what those integers represent when viewing the data in Superset.

   [Starting in Django 4.2](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/4.2/#comments-on-columns-and-tables), you can provide both table and column comments which would be really valuable to expose in this view as a comment or tooltip
   
   ```diff
   suit = models.IntegerField(
   	choices=Suit.choices,
   +    db_comment="1 represents 'Diamond', 2 represents 'Spade', etc."
   )
   ```
