[Qgis-user] Include Comment in source Query

[Hugh Kelley]

Very helpful point, it is a shapefile.

so far "#", "--", "//" and "/* */" did not work. I also tried "<!-- comment
-->" for good measure which didn't work as well.

I tried a few of those on a geopackage too  and they errored out there as
well.

I'll try a postgis datas source later today if I remember.
