I'm working with a Microsoft Access database stored in a .ACCDB file. I’m interested in retrieving metadata on various table fields. Using the Microsoft Access GUI, I can view this data in the "Design View" interface of a table. The specific fields I’m interested in include "Required", "Allow Zero Length", and "Indexed".
Question: Is there a way to read these metadata fields without using the MS-Access GUI? Preferably, with a SQL query or a Python script, but any programatic way to access this metadata would be acceptable. Even something as simple as a command line utility that could dump the information in a my .ACCDB file to a console would work for my needs.
Any references or Google terms that would point me in the right direction would be helful.
I expect there is some programmatic way to retrieve this metadata from a .ACCDB file, but I don't know what to search for.
