Lets review
1. A structured set of data held in a computer that is accessible in various ways is called Database.
2. Tables are composed of horizontal rows and vertical columns, with small rectangles called cells.
3. Field is a way of organizing information by type. Whereas, a record is one unit of information.
4. A primary key in a database uniquely identifies each record.
5. A foreign key is a column or group of columns in a relational database table that provides a link
between data in two tables.
6. Not null constraint enforces that this field cannot be left unused.
7. Unique constraint enforces that the data entered in this field cannot be repeated or all the values
entered should be unique to each other.
8. A query is a special question you apply to the database to find specific data and get the information
you want.
9. Forms allow to add, edit or display the information stored in the database.
10. Reports allow you to view, format and summarize the information database.
