Microsoft Access

I have been using the Open Office database from Novel, it is free and handles much more than MS Access. To me the major advantage is that it also reads and writes just about every data format around - even many of the Microsoft Office formats no longer supported my MS Office 2007. I have a lot of old data (try Word Star 1985), Open Office reads it with no problem!

Use the table wizard or design view.

Forms allow you to display data in a more presentable form than a datasheet can. It can allow you to see all the fields at once, or just some of the fields. It can also allow you to generate other data from the existing data, like showing a calculation from figures on the form. Forms allow more functionality by having controls on them, such as buttons. They can link into queries. They can set up subforms for presenting data in relationships. There are many other things they can do, so they are very useful for databases.

Access forms are much like paper forms; you can use them to enter, edit, or display data. They are based on tables. When using a form, you can choose the format, the arrangement, and which fields you want to display. The "form view" tells access to show you the form created for you to do that above tasks

Recursive queries When a client system sends a recursive query to a local name server, that local name server must return the IP address for the friendly name entered, indicate that it can't find an address, or return an error saying that the requested address does not exist. Name servers do not refer the client system requesting a recursive query to other DNS servers. When answering recursive queries, the originating client does not receive address information directly from any DNS server other than the local name server. Typically, the local name server will first check DNS data from its own boot file, cache, database, or reverse lookup file. If the server is unsuccessful in obtaining the answer from those local sources, it may contact other DNS servers for assistance using iterative queries and then pass the information it receives back to the client that originated the name resolution request. Iterative queries In iterative queries, name servers return the best information they have. Although a DNS server may not know the IP address for a given friendly name, it might know the IP address of another name server likely to have the IP address being sought, so it sends that information back. The response to an iterative query can be likened to a DNS server saying, "I don't have the IP address you seek, but the name server at 10.1.2.3 can tell you." The process is straightforward. Here's one example in which a local name server uses iterative queries to resolve an address for a client: The local name server receives a name resolution request from a client system for a friendly name (such as www.techrepublic.com). The local name server checks its records. If it finds the address, it returns it to the client. If no address is found, the local name server proceeds to the next step. The local name server sends an iterative request to the root (the "." in .com) name server. The root name server provides the local name server with the address for the top-level domain (.com, .net, etc.) server. The local name server sends an iterative query to the top-level domain server. The top-level domain server replies with the IP address of the name server that manages the friendly name's domain (such as techrepublic.com). The local name server sends an iterative request to the friendly name's domain name server. The friendly name's domain name server provides the IP address for the friendly name (www.techrepublic.com) being sought. The local name server passes that IP address to the client. It seems complicated, but the process completes in a matter of moments. Or, if an address isn't found, a 404 error message is returned to the client.

It's a database application which allows you to store, organise and retrieve information in a structured way.

It is a text type. There are a number of reasons why you do not use a number type. Most phone numbers in their full form start with a zero. If entered into a number field, the zero would be dropped. Number fields do not allow spaces or other characters, such as hyphens or brackets, that are often used when entering phone numbers. Although they are numbers, you never do calculations on phone numbers, like adding or multiplying or getting averages. So no numerical operations are carried out.

FORMS

An Access database object on which you place controls for taking actions or for entering, displaying, and editing data in fields.

Forms provide the interface for data entry to the database. End-users are usually unaware of MS Access tables' structure and inter-table relationships; they can use the forms to perform data entry operations to the background tables.

Open a new query. Bring in the table you want to append records from and add in the fields you want to use. Click on the Query menu and pick Append Query. Choose the table that you want to append to from the drop down list. In the Append To line of the query design grid you can choose the corresponding fields you want to append to. When you have them chosen and applied any criteria, then you can run the query.

Before changing to an Append query it is often best to first set it up as a Select query so that you can see what records and fields will be appended when it is run. You can be more certain then that the correct records will be added.

In Access a table has records which are the rows and fields which are columns. To retrieve specific data in a database you have to use a query.

CREATE TABLE command is used to create table. Syntax of creating a TABLE is: CREATE TABLE ( [] []); ex: create table emp (ecode integer, ename char(20));

A Microsoft Windows server allows you to store, host and protect ones networking systems. One may be able to keep their information, documents and websites secure in the event of computer system failures.

They are like formulas that can be built into Access, often on a form or a query in order to calculate something. In general in databases, anything that can be calculated from other data should not be in a field. For example, if you have the date of birth stored in a field then you should never have the age stored. The age can always be calculated from the date of birth and be accurate at all times. An age changes every year, but the date of birth never does. You would do that calculation by using an expression. If you have the amount of hours worked and the rate of pay, then you can calculate the actual wage at any time, so that does not need to be stored either, and it can be calculated through an expression. So expressions are very useful for doing things in Access.

No, you can use it with Excel and Microsoft word as well.

A database is the storing of information (such as on your hard drive or disk), while a spreadsheet is used for accounting, or keeping track of expenditures or other items or projects with a numerical value. A spreadsheet can also be stored on your computer or on hard copy (printed on paper).

1.A spreadsheet is an application for tabulating data while a database is where data is stored so that it can be retrieved by users

2.The amount of data that is usually stored in a database is way more than what is contained in a spreadsheet

3.A spreadsheet is edited directly by people while a database is accessed by applications that enter and modify data

4.A spreadsheet is usually used for presentations and paperworks while databases are commonly used in cases where a lot of data needs to stored.

Click on the header at the start of a row and it will select the entire record.

In any database there should always be a way of uniquely identifying each record. That is the main purpose of a primary key. In the real world we have things like reference numbers, membership numbers, registration numbers, serial numbers and so on. Using these we can uniquely identify something as no other object will have the same number. So if two people who have the same name work in a company, they would have different employee numbers and so they can be identified. Without something to uniquely identify data, there is confusion and it can cause major problems in a database.

Yes, MS Access is a relational database management system (RDBMS).

RDBMS is a special type of database management system that stores data in form of related tables. It is differ from flat file databases because it uses several tables for a single database.
