A database program allows you to store, find, analyze, manage, and share information. It contains tables to store data, queries to ask questions of data, forms for easy data entry and viewing, reports to present data in a printed format, pages for intranet and internet access, macros to automate tasks, and modules for more complex automation using programming code. Key aspects include creating tables with primary keys, building relationships between tables, designing queries using criteria, creating forms to view and edit data, and generating reports to output data. Macros can automate common tasks like opening forms or printing reports.
2. A powerful database program you can use to store all kinds of information What a database program? A Database program is a collection of information that is organized into a list and stored in a structuredmanner.Microsoft Access
7. Share informationDATABASE OBJECTSTABLESTables store database data in rows and columns. A DB should contain atleast one table.QUERIES Ask questions of data stored in table.FORMSForms are custom screens that provide and an easy way to enter and view data in table ore query.REPORTSPresent data from a table or query in a printed format
8. PAGESPage designed for viewing and working with MS Access from an intranet and internet.MACROSTo perform routine task by automating them into a single commandMODULESLike automate tasks but by using a built in program language using VB. More powerful and complex than macros
29. CRITERIAS= , >= , <= , = , > , < - Find records according to the criteriaBETWEEN - Eg. Finds records between 1/1/2010and 5/12/2010.LIKE - Eg. Finding Name starting with Like “m*”NOT - Eg. Find Name not starting with Not “ma”IS NULL - Eg. Find records whose fields are emptyIS NOT NULL - Eg. Finds record whose fields contain values.
33. SELECT QUERYSelect queries and find data from one or more data and displayCROSSTAB QUERYSummarizes data in a table formatMake-Table QueryMAKE-TABLE QUERYCreates a new table from all or part of the data in one or more tables. Useful for backing up and exporting information.UPDATE QUERYUpdates selected information in a table. For example, you could raise the prices on by 15 percent.APPEND QUERYAppends or adds selected records from one table to another table. Useful for importing information into a table.DELETE QUERYDeletes selected records from one or more tables.
46. MACROA macro is a set of one or more actions that perform a particular operation, such as opening a form or printing a report. Macros can help you to automate common tasks. For example, you can run a macro that prints a report when a user clicks a command button.
50. Significant Features1.View object dependenciesEg. Before deleting a query we can know which form or table it belongs to.2.Better Security3.Propagating field properties4.Error checking in forms and reports5.Share Point Services Support- Can import or export and also link 6.Office online
