Populating the databases P3Course CodesFrom importing data from Excel to Access, I have also populated the databases and the rows are filled with data.
Seen in Design View, I can limit the maximum amount of letters a certain row can have. I have also identified that the column “Course Code” is my Primary Key for this table. This is also an auto increment key.
Staff ID Codes
From importing data from Excel to Access, I have another populated database filled with data (as seen in Datasheet View)
Seen in Design View, I can also limit the amount of letters in every row so that it limits to the maximum amount of letters that I require

UnitsFrom importing data from Excel to Access, I now have another filled, populated database.
Seen in Design View, I am able to limit the maximum amount of letters a certain row can contain.
There is also an auto incremented key in this table
I have also identified that the column labelled “Subject Codes” is my Primary Key for this table
RegisterAs seen here, this table holds Modify Lookups.
I have used Modify Lookup Combo boxes in this table (as seen in Design View) which will specify this field for needs that are required. Also, an auto incremented key is in this table

Student DetailsThis is my student details. As you can see here, I have used appropriate data types. I have used ‘Date/Time’ in the DOB field, I have used ‘Hyperlink’ in the email address field, I have used ‘OLE Object’ in the photo field and I have used ‘Long Text’ in the additional info field.
In the surname field, I have changed the field size to 20. I find this to be an appropriate size because people can have a long surname.
The forename is also field size 20. I also find this appropriate because people can have a long forename.
The middle name is also field size 20. I also find this appropriate because people can have more than one middle name ie. John James
And you also able to see an auto incremented key in this table

I have changed the address field to size 50 because there can be long street names in the United Kingdom. I find this to be appropriate.
I have changed the town field size to 70 as there are long place names in the United Kingdom. I find this to be appropriate.
I have changed the county field size to 10 as Lancashire consists of ten words.
I have also changed the postcode field size to 8 as the BB postcode (including a space inbetween) consists of 8 characters.
I have also changed the mobile phone number to 11 as there are 11 characters in a mobile number and I have changed the
telephone number field size to 12 as there are upto 12 characters in a phone number (including a space.
After all databases and forms complete, this is my relationship diagram
I have made sure that referential integrity has been forced in every relationship and I have also ensured that the needed relationships have cascade update and cascade delete enforced on them.
