QuestionHow to store and retrieve metadata about a database table column? Pin

I am working on a product where depending on some metadata associated with a table column my presentation of the table contents changes. For example a user may say a column is bold and in the reports it should be printed bold.

If the table schema is fixed I could have done this by maintaining another table which maps a column with its display attributes. Problem with this scheme is both my table structure and the display attributes are user configurable.

So I think the best solution will be if I could make use of any built in database functionality to store the metadata. For example MS SQL Server has a description associated with each table column, which I can (hopefully) manipulate programmatically.

I would like to know is there a universal way to store and retrieve metadata about a database table column?
