A structured set of data held in a computer that can be accessible in various ways is called a
database. Moreover, a Database is a place where you can store and retrieve (Access) the
required data and is placed centrally in a Machine. For e.g: Employee Information stored in an
organization’s Database, Nadra Stores the Information of All Citizens of Pakistan in Their
Database.

Q2. Briefly describe the software/tool we are using to create & Manage Database.
MS-Access is a DBMS used to Store and Manipulate Data and make Business Applications.
Q3: What is a datatype? Name any 4 datatypes of MS-Access?
Datatype classifies the type of data you want to store in the Column (field). Number, Short-text,
Boolean, Long Text, Date Time are a few examples.

Q4: Differentiate between Primary and Foreign Key with the help of example?
Primary Key: is a unique identifier that uniquely identifies each record in a table. The primary
key mustn’t repeat its value and it shouldn’t be kept null. The primary key typically appears as a
column in a relational Database. E.g of primary key: ( RollNo, CNIC, Vehicle ID No)

Foreign Key: is a column or group of columns that provides a link between data in two tables. It
is the reference of Primary key of one table in another table.

Q5: What are 2 Constraints of Primary key?

1. Not Null: This Constraint enforces that a field of Primary Key cannot be left unused.
2. Unique: This Constraint enforces that Data entered cannot be repeated and all values
should be unique to each other.

way, making it easier to understand and interpret. Reports can include headers, footers, groupings,
calculations, and graphical elements to enhance the presentation of data and generate professional-
looking documents.

3. Queries: Queries in MS-Access are powerful tools for retrieving and manipulating data from
one or more tables in a database. They allow users to ask questions or perform specific actions on
the data, such as filtering, sorting, or calculating values. Queries can be designed using a visual
interface or by writing SQL (Structured Query Language) statements, providing flexibility and
control over the data retrieval process.

Q: Suppose you have a set of data on movies released each month from the years 2020 to
2023, now you must plan a query to separate each movie according to their genre for example
comedy, horror, anime etc.
Four Steps to Plan a Query:

1. Define Objective: Determine what information you need from the database and what specific
criteria will be used to retrieve it, for example separating all amines.
2. Identify Tables: Identify the tables in the database that contain the relevant data needed for the
query.

3. Design Query: Design the query using the appropriate tools or language to specify the selection
criteria, sorting order, and any calculations or manipulations required.
4. Test and Refine: Test the query to ensure it produces the desired results and refine as necessary
based on feedback or additional requirements.

Q: What is Role of Primary Key and Foreign Key in Databases, Give the difference with
example?
Primary Key: A primary key uniquely identifies each record in a table and ensures data integrity
by enforcing uniqueness and preventing null values. For example, in a table of students, the
StudentID column could serve as the primary key.

Foreign Key: A foreign key establishes a relationship between two tables by referencing the
primary key of another table. It helps maintain referential integrity by ensuring that values in the
foreign key column match values in the primary key column of the related table. For instance, in
a table of orders, the CustomerID column could serve as a foreign key referencing the CustomerID
column in a table of customers.

Q: Forms & Reports are 2 essential features of MS-Access. Please support your answer by
explaining both the concepts and difference between them.
Forms: Forms provide a user interface for data input, editing, and viewing. They facilitate
interaction with individual records in a database and are designed for data entry and manipulation
by users.

Reports: Reports present data in a structured and formatted manner for printing or viewing. They
are used for summarizing, analyzing, and visualizing data from tables or queries in a database and
are typically designed for generating professional-looking documents or presentations.

Q: Imagine you're the captain of a spaceship exploring a new planet called Accessia. In
Accessia, there are two different modes you can use to look at information about the planet.
One mode, called Datasheet View, is like looking at a map of the planet where you can see all
the different areas at once. The other mode, called Design View, is like putting on your
engineer's hat and designing a new spaceship to explore Accessia. How would you explain
the difference between these two views to your crewmates using this space adventure
analogy?

In Datasheet View, it's like looking at a map of the planet, where you see all the information at
once, like the different continents and oceans. In Design View, it's like being an engineer designing
a new spaceship. You get to decide how the spaceship looks and functions before it goes on its
mission to explore the planet. So, in Datasheet View, you see the data, and in Design View, you
design how things will look and work.
