Like many SQL databases, Gadfly maintains metadata in tables, and you can query the structure of a Gadfly database:

>>> cursor = connection.cursor()
>>> cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM __table_names__')
>>> print cursor.pp()
IS_VIEW | TABLE_NAME     
=========================
0       | EMPTY          
1       | NONDRINKERS    
1       | ALLDRINKERS    
1       | __INDICES__    
1       | DUAL           
0       | LIKES          
0       | FREQUENTS      
0       | ACCESSES       
0       | WORK           
1       | __TABLE_NAMES__
0       | SERVES         
1       | __DATADEFS__   
1       | __COLUMNS__    
1       | __INDEXCOLS__  
>>>

Apart from the data tables, you can inspect metatables of tables, indexes, and columns in this manner.
