SQL Server.
MS Access is a great starting point for individuals and organizations
looking for an accessible yet powerful tool for managing relational data
without requiring deep technical expertise.
When creating a database in Microsoft Access, it is essential to define the appropriate data
types for each field in a table. This helps ensure data integrity, consistency, and efficient
storage. Below are the commonly used data types in MS Access:
1. Short Text
3. Number
4. Date/Time
5. Currency
6. AutoNumber
7. Yes/No (Boolean)
8. OLE Object
Description: Stores objects like images, Word documents, Excel files, etc.
Size: Up to 2 GB.
Usage: Embedded files or multimedia.
9. Hyperlink
10. Attachment
11. Calculated
Description: Not a data type but a tool to create a field that looks up values from another
table or a predefined list.
Usage: Dropdown lists for selecting values.
1. Creating Tables
Tables are the foundation of a database, storing all the data in rows (records) and columns
(fields).
Steps:
1. Open MS Access:
o Launch MS Access and create a new database or open an existing one.
2. Go to Table Design:
o Click on "Create" in the top menu.
o Select "Table Design".
3. Define Fields:
o In the Field Name column, type the field names (e.g., CustomerID, Name, Email).
o In the Data Type column, select the appropriate data type (e.g., Short Text, Number,
Date/Time).
4. Set Primary Key (Optional):
o Right-click the field you want as the primary key.
o Click "Primary Key" (usually used for unique IDs).
5. Save the Table:
o Press Ctrl + S or click the "Save" icon.
o Name the table (e.g., Customers, Orders).
2. Creating Relationships
Relationships link tables based on a common field, allowing you to work with related data
efficiently.
Steps:
3. Manipulating Records
You can add, edit, delete, or search for records using tables, forms, or queries.
1. Create a Query:
o Go to "Create" and select "Query Design".
2. Add Tables:
o Select tables to include in the query and click "Add".
3. Select Fields:
o Drag the fields into the query grid or double-click them.
4. Add Criteria (Optional):
o In the Criteria row, specify conditions (e.g., City = "New York").
5. Run the Query:
o Click "Run" (red exclamation mark) to view the results.
6. Save the Query:
o Press Ctrl + S and name the query.
What do you mean by database? Explain with DBMS.
What is a Database?
A database is a structured collection of data that can be easily accessed, managed, and
updated. It organizes data into tables (rows and columns) to facilitate efficient storage,
retrieval, and manipulation of information. Databases are used in various applications such as
banking, e-commerce, social media, healthcare, and more.
A Database Management System (DBMS) is software that allows users to create, manage,
and interact with databases. It acts as an intermediary between the user and the database,
ensuring that data is efficiently stored and retrieved.
Functions of a DBMS:
Examples of DBMS:
Relational DBMS (RDBMS): Organizes data into related tables.
o Examples: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS Access, SQL Server.
NoSQL DBMS: Handles unstructured or semi-structured data.
o Examples: MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis.
User
No direct interaction by users. Users interact through the DBMS interface.
Interaction
E-Commerce Database
Tables:
o Customers: Stores customer details (name, email, contact).
o Orders: Stores order details (order ID, customer ID, date).
o Products: Stores product details (product ID, name, price).
DBMS: MySQL or MS Access can be used to manage this e-commerce database, handling
tasks like retrieving customer orders or updating product prices.
In summary, a database is where data is stored, and a DBMS is the tool that helps manage
and manipulate this data efficiently.
