Database ACCESS
Database A series of objects used to enter, manage, and view data.
Table Organizes the data of customers, inventory, etc. that’s broken down into individual units of information.
Field A single unit of information about a person, place, item, or object.
PrimaryKey • The field by which the table is sorted whenever the table is opened. • One field is designated as the primary key. • The primary key field must contain unique data for each record, such as account number.
Record A collection of fields about a person, place, item, or object.
Query • Extracts data from one or more tables. • It selects some of the fields from the table(s) to display or print rather than viewing all fields in a datasheet.
Validity Checking each entry to reduce errors and ensure that only valid information is stored for the customer.
Report Print or view a tabular layout for datasheets or forms. Create a report when you want to specify which fields to print and have more control over the report layout and format.
Filter • Used to view only those records that meet specified criteria. • Example: you may want to view only those records of suppliers in one state.
