I have an Access 2003 database, protected by a workgroup, that I am
trying to view through python. Currently, I'm attempting dao with the
win32 package, and I'm able to view all of the table names, but I don't
know how to view the attributes of the tables.
My code:
import win32com.client
from pprint import pprint
#sample code to list all tables in the selected database
daoEngine = win32com.client.Dispatch('DAO.DBEngine.36')
dtbs = daoEngine.OpenDatabase('database_file.mdb')
for table in dtbs.TableDefs:
if table.Name[:4] <> "MSys" and table.Name[:4] <> "~TMP":
pprint(table.Name.encode('utf-8'))
#the above works, but below does not:
for col in table.Fields:
pprint(col.Name, Col.Type, Col.Size)
I am getting that len(Fields) = 0, and I know the database tables are
all full of columns (and data). Is there also some resource that
defines all the properties of TableDefs? I wasn't able to find a
python reference for this.
Thank You,
Gau
