Check out the META DATA section of this page (link above). I used it to create a database
'walker' app that lets you search for table names, column names, etc. I was working on a
HUGE database that wasn't documented well and nobody could give me good answers on how things
joined..haha. so this meta data was very helpful.
It's basically stored in a table in SQL Server, all the table/column information. So it's
super simple to get the information you want.
Check out this query:
SELECT * FROM sysobjects
good luck!

Is there a way to programatically get information about a
specific table and/or field? And also any constraints that
a field has?
thnx,
Chris
