Theory Assignment 1 4. Answer the following: a. What are is a DBMS ? A Database Management System (DBMS) arranges all your data in an orderly manner so that you can retrieve information easily whenever you need it. Database management involves creating, modifying, deleting, and adding data in a database. The software that performs these functions is called a Database Management System. b. Name any two DBMS software. Microsoft Access and My SQL are examples of DBMS software. c. What is a Primary Key ? Explain with the help of an example. A primary key is one (or more) column(s) whose values uniquely identify every row in a table. The value in the primary eld is different for every record and thus, helps to identify records uniquely. For example, in a table containing information about students of Class VIII A, the column Roll No behaves as the primary key as every student has a unique roll number. d. List the four objects in a Microsoft Access database. The four objects in a Microsoft Access database are: i. Tables: They store the data in a database. ii. Forms: They make it easy to enter data in tables. iii. Query: Based on selection criteria, a query retrieves data from one or more tables and displays it on screen. iv. Report: It retrieves data and displays it in an easytoread format for printing. e. What are the two ways of creating a Microsoft Access database ? The two ways of creating a Microsoft Access database are by using a blank database or by using a template. f. What are the two areas of Design view ? The Table Design view window consists of two areas: 1. The Field Grid pane or Field Entry area: It allows us to specify eld names and data types. We can also give a description with each eld, though this is optional. 2. The Field Properties pane: It allows us to enter more details for each eld, like eld size, validation rule, etc. g. Name any four data types available in Microsoft Access. Four data types available in Microsoft Access are Text, Memo, Number, and Date/Time. h. How do you create a table in an existing database ? Open the database. Click Table Design in the Tables group of the Create tab. The Table Design view window appears. Here you can create whatever elds you like and select the data types for each eld. ***************************** Class 8 DB, Egmore [RA]

       TheoryAssignment‐1

4. Answerthefollowing:

  a.   What are is a DBMS ? 

  A Database Management  System  (DBMS)  arranges  all  your  data  in  an  orderly manner so  that 

  you  can  retrieve  information  easily  whenever  you  need  it.  Database  management  involves 

  creating, modifying, deleting, and adding data  in a database. The  software  that performs  these 

  functions is called a Database Management System. 

  b.   Name any two DBMS software.   Microsoft Access and My SQL are examples of DBMS software.

c.   What is a Primary Key ? Explain with the help of an example. 

  A primary key  is one (or more) column(s) whose values uniquely  identify every row in a table. 

  The value  in  the primary field  is different  for every  record and  thus, helps  to  identify records 

  uniquely.  For  example,  in  a  table  containing  information  about  students  of  Class  VIII  A,  the 

  column Roll No behaves as the primary key as every student has a unique roll number. 

  d.   List the four objects in a Microsoft Access database. 

  The four objects in a Microsoft Access database are: 

  i.   Tables:  They store the data in a database. 

  ii.  Forms:  They make it easy to enter data in tables. 

  iii. Query:  Based on selection criteria, a query retrieves data from one or more tables and displays  

           it  on screen. 

  iv. Report:  It retrieves data and displays it in an easy‐to‐read format for printing. 

  e.   What are the two ways of creating a Microsoft Access database ? 

  The two ways of creating a Microsoft Access database are by using a blank database or 

  by using a template. 

  f.   What are the two areas of Design view ? 

   The Table Design view window consists of two areas: 

  1.   The Field Grid pane or Field Entry area: It allows us to specify field names and data types.  

         We can also give a description with each field, though this is optional. 

  2.   The Field Properties pane: It allows us to enter more details for each field, like field 

        size, validation rule, etc. 

  g.   Name any four data types available in Microsoft Access. 

  Four  data  types  available  in Microsoft  Access  are  Text, Memo, Number,  and Date/Time. 

  h.   How do you create a table in an existing database ? 

  Open  the database. Click Table  Design  in  the Tables  group of  the Create  tab. The Table Design 

  view window appears. Here you can create whatever fields you  like and select the data types for 

  each field.

TheoryAssignment‐2

4. Answerthefollowing:

  a.   Which Access view allows more control over table structure ? 

  Design  view in Access allows more control over table structure. 

  b.  What is a validation rule ? 

  A validation rule  limits the value that the field will accept. For example,  if the validation rule   for a field  is <=  100,  it means that the field must be  less than or equal to 100. If you enter a   value greater than 100, you will get an error message. 

c.   Write a validation rule to ensure that the value of the Salary filed is less than 50000. 

  The validation rule to ensure that the value of the Salary field is less than 50000 should be  < 50000. 

  d.   If you want  the Received_Amount  field  to already have  the values Yes during data entry,     what property will you use ? 

  The Default  Value  property should be used  if you want  the Received_Amount field  to already   have the value Yes during data entry. 

  e.   What is the maximum length of data in a Text field ? 

  The maximum length of data in a Text field is 255 characters. 

  f.   What is a query ? Why are queries required ? 

   Queries are a method of getting answers to questions about data. Microsoft Access saves each   query in the database. A saved query can be run again anytime in the future. 

  g.   What is a Form ? Write two uses of forms. 

  A form provides an easy‐to‐use method for entering and editing data for those who are not   familiar with Access. Forms provide a way of viewing and deleting data. 

  h.   What is a Report ? Mention its use. 

  Reports are an effective way to present data  in printed format. You can control the size and   appearance of everything on a report. Thus, you can display the information the way you want   to see it.
