A database consists of an organized collection of data for one or more uses. One way of classifying databases involves the type of their contents, for example: Numbers, document-text, Date/time. This database is managed using database management systems, which store database contents, allowing data creation and maintenance, and search and other access. This is a table that I have created showing you about where a person lives, house number, street name, and first name e.g. all you have to do is type the information you need in each field. Then you change each field; for example Last name I could give it a max of 20 letters for some ones last name. House number I could give it a max of 4 numbers and also change it so that it’s a number field so what ever updates their are it won’t mess up. A table is a set of data elements/attributes (values) that is organized using vertical columns (which are identified by their name) and horizontal rows. A table has a specified number of columns, but can have any number of rows. Each row is identified by the values appearing in a particular column subset which has been identified as a candidate key. In non-relational systems, the distant counterpart of a table is a structured file, representing the rows of a table in each record of the file and each column in a record. Unlike a spreadsheet, the data type of field is ordinarily defined by the schema describing the table This is a form, a bit like a table but I have set it out differently and you can actually view the picture. All I did here was transfer over all the information and made some changes e.g. colour and style. Here is a report, again has the same information jus different layout all I did was start with a blank data base n filled out the information made on my table. Then I just changed the lay out and added fields which contain the photos of each person. Now am going to show you how I made my table. To start an access table you need to open up Microsoft access on your desktop. After that click on New, then to your right it gives you an option if you want to open a new database. Once you select that you want to make a new database it will ask you what you want to call it then create/save it After you create one this will appear you can make tables, queries, forms, reports, pages, macros, modules e.g. then you click on create table in design view Finally this is an empty table this allows you to enter information in each field. When I created my form I did this: Is clicked on this… this Transferred all my data across from my table to the new form I am making by clicking the 2 arrows… then click next. You can choose how you would like it column e.g. then click next You can choose either of the options as it is your form. Then click next Then finalise! You can also edit it or start from fresh! Entirely up to you. For a report it can be the same process. But I will show you a few pictures of how to do it: This is what it would look like if you clicked create report in design view
