Creating a Database with Microsoft Access 2010
Objectives:
• To create database using Microsoft Access 2010
• To create tables and relations between them
• To understand the concept of relational databases
1. Getting Started
Database Terminology
These words are often used in MS Access, so you will want to become familiar with them before using the program
• A database is a collection of related information.
• An object is a competition in the database such as a table, query, form or report
• A table is a group of related data organized in fields (columns) and records (rows) on a datasheet. By using a common field in two tables, the data can be combined. Many tables can be stored in a single database.
• A field is a column on a datasheet and defines a data type for a set of values in a table. For example, a mailing list table might include fields for first name, last name, address, city state zip code and telephone number.
• A record, in a row on a datasheet, is a set of values defined by fields. In a mailing list table, each record would contain the data for one person as specified by the interesting fields.
• Primary key is a field or a set of fields that uniquely identify a record in a table.
• Foreign key is a field or combination of fields that are related to the primary key of another table.
