Short answer - No
Why do you only want to protect the database file (metadata.db) and not the entire library folder? Anyone with half a brain could rebuild the database from the library subfolders with a single command.
Why not store the library in a directory that has access limited to password protected user accounts?
Or do a search for "XXXXX password protect folder", where XXXXX is Windows, MacOS, or Linux - try alternative solutions on a test library.
Password protection on folders often means encryption, which could have a deleterious affect on performance.
Or put the library on a thumb-drive which you keep in your pocket
