Metadata is data about data. MS Access is a database. Most of the time we are interested in the data in the database tables. For example the database could have tables that store information about orders and order items. So typical queries would be for the number of orders per day or from some location. Metadata would tell us things like the names of the tables and the names of the columns in those tables.

∙ 9y agoIt is data about data. So that would be things like the names of your tables, the names of the fields, the data type of the fields, which fields are primary keys, and so on. It does not concern the actual data itself that is in your tables. So something like a person's name or phone number in your table is not meta data. The names of the fields that hold that data is meta data.
