Re: Indices and Constraints.
Those types of queries will be available soon as the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views are in development. Keep your eyes on the next few releases of MySQL for this feature to appear (it may already be active in the 5.0.2 release just announced but I haven't had time to check yet). Until then you will need to parse the results of SHOW CREATE TABLE just as everyone has already suggested.
