What is a database?Organized collection of

related information.Databases can be used

for many things. For example it can find a file quickly. It can sort data faster than people can. You can use the common database: Microsoft Access.

Schools- keep record of students and their grades.

Doctors- Keep record of their patients.Libraries- Keep records of books in the

library.Shops- Keep record of sales.Police- Keep record of criminal records.Coaches- Keep records of the team.

Microsoft Access

This is an online database. It allows you to make a database online. There are many features to Microsoft Access!

Features of Microsoft Access:1) Fields2) Records3) Entries4) Ascending and

descending5) Filter/ Query6) Sort

7) Datasheet View8) Design View9) Report Wizard

Field: A category of information in a database. An example would be: Length

Entry: The information that is entered in the fields in a database. Example: Eastern Diamond Back Rattle Snake

Record: A display of records or parts of records that satisfy a particular search or sort. An example would be:

Filter/ Query– a feature that displays records that meet one or more specific criteria.

Sort- arranging information in alphabetical or numerical order.

Ascending and descending: Ascending order would be in alphabetical order from A-Z and descending order would be from Z-A. The top picture shows ascending and the bottom picture shows descending.

Design View- displays the field names and what kind of values you can enter in each field. In this view you can define or modify the field formats and create field names and data types for a database.

Datasheet View- displays the table in a row-and-column format. This is where the information is put into a table from design view. Design view had the fields and now datasheet view will let you many the records and entries.

Report- a display of records or parts of records that satisfy a particular search or sort. You can choose what you want to go into the report. If you want certain fields then you can do that.

Microsoft access is very sensitive. You have to have something in your primary key the whole time. You cannot have duplicate primary keys. Your Primary key is a certain field.

You will be asked where to save it first and to name it. Then you go to design view and put the fields you want. You would then go to datasheet view and create all the information you want in it. You can make it in a certain order if you want (ascending or descending). If you want a report made, then you would go to report wizard and put what you want in the report.

The End!We hope you learned some things about databases and Microsoft Access that will help you in the future!!
