Databases organize data into tables that contain records made of related fields. Microsoft Access is a database management system that stores data in .mdb or .accdb files. A database table contains rows that represent records and columns that represent fields. Each record needs a unique primary key for identification. Fields have different data types like text, numbers, dates and times to structure the information stored. Together, tables provide an organized way to store data in a database.
