Where does WordPress store image meta data?

Question

I've had a look in the database, but have not been able to find it.

I'm talking about the caption, description etc.

I'm doing a custom gallery and I need to access this information.

So where does WordPress store this info?

Answer 1

It is stored in wp_posts and wp_postmeta

Run these SQL Queries to have a look

SELECT *
FROM `wp_posts`
WHERE `post_type` = 'attachment'


SELECT *
FROM `wp_postmeta`
WHERE `meta_key` like '_wp_attach%'
