No strong opinion, can we provide schema in this screenshot?

This is a screenshot for importing to gpkg; the schema label should have been deactivated also (will be fixed in qgis/QGIS#64089)
| You can import layer or file into your database. Here are the parameters you can set | ||
| for the import process: |
| - |checkbox| :guilabel:`Do not promote to multi-part`: Geometries will be imported as single-part geometries. | ||
| - |checkbox| :guilabel:`Convert field names to lower case`: All field names will be converted to lower case. | ||
| - |checkbox| :guilabel:`Create spatial index`: A spatial index will be created on the geometry column after import. | ||
| - |checkbox| :guilabel:`Comment`: Add comments to the table and columns based on the source layer's metadata. You can also add or edit comments manually. |

I'm not sure I understand. Existing comments in source layer are made available in this field (before you could edit)?

I was trying to import a layer that has no comment. I was expecting that behavior but after testing it today using layer with existing comment apparently it doesnt work that way (or bug?), we can only add it not edit the existing. It's giving me idea to file a feature request. So that when we try to import vector layer from canvas, it will show us existing comment that is editable. @DelazJ

I think it is implemented, but for PostGIS (see qgis/QGIS#60875 unless I misunderstand)

Yes, that’s correct. As far as I know, table comments are supported only for PostGIS. However, editing existing comments only works when the layer is imported by dragging it from the Layer Panel into the Browser Panel. The same does not work when importing through DB Manager, existing comments are not detected or shown there. 🤔 @DelazJ
| * :guilabel:`Options`: Here are some options for the import process: | ||

| - |checkbox| :guilabel:`Primary key`: Provide naming for the primary key field. | ||
| By default, it is named ``id``. |

(need to check but) does this not default to gid for PostgreSQL?
