What is a validation rule?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In a database it is important that data is put in accurately. One method of doing that is to use validation rules to restrict what people can put in. So you might have a school where children have to be over a certain age before they can join. You could build a validation rule to ensure they meet that requirement or to ensure that the person entering the data does not make a mistake when entering it. A validation rule will stop them making an error and with the Validation Text, it will give them a message telling them what their error is.

What is a legacy system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In computer terminology the word legacy is usually used as a legacy system, which represents an old computer system or application, which is used by the users, only because they don't want to change or redesign it. Normally legacy systems are considered problematic by the software professionals since it may not match with the technologies of the new era.

A "legacy" system is one that is either outdated for most practical purposes, or one that includes older forms of technology. A "legacy-free" PC is one that does not include older ports that would be necessary to support much older equipment, such as parallel ports, ISA slots, serial ports, PS/2 ports, and sometimes even VGA. A legacy system is an old computer system that is no longer in use, but may still have important information. It could also be one that is completely redundant. New systems either have to replace it or even connect to it. A company might have an old payroll system that is replaced by a new one. The old one becomes a legacy system. Data structures that are out of date by modern standards, may still be in operation in some computer systems because the newer systems had to be based on an older system. Having a legacy system may make it difficult to implement a new system or delay it. Good system design can integrate the older system and later modify the new system so that it is fully up to date with modern standards, without having lost any data from the old system. The old system can be retained on backup so that if it is needed it is accessible. Ideally, the new system should be able to safely and completely replace it, so that the old system is never needed again for any reason.

What are access data types?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The data type of a database field determines the possible values that that field can hold. When you create a field in MS Access and assign it the Date/Time data type, than that field can only hold date and time values like 04-11-2008 17:51.

When you assign the Number data type and set the field length to "Long integer" that field can only hold whole numbers.

Text, Number and Date are the most common data types in Access. A more exotic data type is the Attachment data type, which can hold files or the Calculated data type which can hold a formula that calculates a result based on values from other fields.

What is a query?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Queries are essentially powerful Filters. Queries allow you to decide what fields or expressions are to be shown and what information to be sought. Queries are usually based on Tables but can also be based on an existing Query. Queries allow you seek from very basic information through to much more complicated specifications. They also allow you to list information in a particular order, such as listing all the resulting records in Surname order for example.

Queries can select records that fit certain criteria. If you had a list of people and had a gender field you could use a query to select just the males or females in the database. The gender field would have a criteria set as "male" which means that when the query is run only records with "male" in the Gender field would be listed. For each record that meets the criteria the you could choose to list other fields that may be in the table like first name, surname, phone number, date of birth or whatever you may have in the database.

Queries can do much more than just listing out records. It is also possible to list out totals, averages etc. from the data and do various other calculations. Queries can also be used to do other tasks, such as deleting records, updating records, adding new records, creating new tables and creating tabulated reports.







What are MS Excel advantages over MS Access?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you work on a huge number of sets of data, which you have to sort, filter, group, and create subgroups on which to calculate or extract values such as averages, medians, or/and maximums, you are better off with Access. The process of creating groups within groups and then performing calculations on those is way more cumbersome in Excel. Excel on the other hand will be better for analyzing up to a few hundred records of data. The number of records, however, cannot exceed 65536 records (Excel 2003) or 1,048,576 (Excel 2007) . This is the maximum number of records Excel can handle. It also depends on the way you want to analyse the data. Databases are good for finding relationships in data. Spreadsheets are good for crunching numbers and doing "what if" analysis (e.g. scenario models). Because of a spreadsheets two dimensional design (rows and columns), the way users use spreadsheets as combined input/storage/output systems, and a spreadsheets inability to easily establish enforceable relationship rules between rows (or columns) on the same or different spreadsheets, the true multi dimensional nature of data can be hidden from the user and/or violated by incorrect data edits. This can make analysis of data difficult if the data is stored in a spreadsheet. It is easy to extract data from a database into a spreadsheet to take advantage of a spreadsheets unique data manipulation features (e.g. pivot tables, charts etc). The real questions should be "Where do I store the data I want to analyse?" The answer to that is definitely "In a database". You can make it safe there. Then choose the appropriate tool for the analysis you want to do.

How many columns in access 2007 table?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The columns in a database table are called fields and the number of fields is exactly the number of fields that were included in the table when it was designed. It could be as few as 1, up to a maximum of 255, although a table with anywhere near that number will probably have been badly designed.

What are queries usually used for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Using Microsoft Access as a basic example, there are four basic items in a database. Tables--hold data; Queries--sort data; Forms--enter/view data; Reports--display data.

So, if we have a table with a list of people (Last Name, First Name, City, State) and we want to find all records of people from Wisconsin, we create a Query. If I want to find all people with the last name of Smith, I create a query. The table only holds the data, the form and report display data, but the query is where you (or the database programmer) gives the end user the ability to filter data.

When you submit a search term to your favorite search engine, the results are a filtered query of all websites (data) available using the term you input.

When you ask everybody in a room who has a birthday in June to raise a hand, you queried the people. A company can use a query of birthdays of your stored friends to send you a discount on flowers.

Asked by Wiki User

An Access database can hold up to 2GB (two gigabytes) of information.

These include up to 32,768 objects ( tables, queries, forms, etc).

From this up to 255 people can use the database at the same time.
