> I it possible through SQL to read the attributes of the columns of a
table?

You can certainly do this with a real DBMS such as SQL Server or ORACLE.

Not with Access or MySQL as they don't have proper system catalogs.

Access has a table of tables (msysobjects) but it doesn't go down to
the column level.
