A data engineer is adding comments to a table and its columns. After running the COMMENT statements, they run `DESCRIBE EXTENDED` and see the table comment but not the column comments. What is the most likely reason?

DESCRIBE EXTENDED does not show column comments.

The column comments were added to a different table due to a typo in the fully qualified name.

Column comments are only visible in the UI, not in SQL output.

The table was recreated after the comments were added, losing the column comments.
