Due Date Reminders • Homework IV • This Friday, by 11:55pm • MyITLab Lesson D • Monday March 31st, by 11:55pm • Homework V • Friday April 4th, by 11:55pm
So… Homework IV… • If the mention of Homework IV makes you go: …you’re quickly running out of time.
General hints • Read the instructions all of the way through • Things that future steps ask you to do may give you a hint how to complete earlier steps
General hints • Examine given tables for good ideas of what to name your fields Another good reason to read the whole assignment first!
General hints • Examine given tables to understand what the formatting should look like
General Hints • Close tables as you are done with them. • Remember, that Access is designed so multiple people can work on a database at once • This means that an open table is “locked” and nothing that references it can have changes made to it
General Hints • The MOST IMPORTANT THING you can do is be positive your tables are correctly designed • Improper table design will render your database unusable. • End of story.
Specific Hints: Step 5v The field size must be a double(This has to do with how the field is stored in memory.) The format must be fixed. The decimal places must be 1. (5 vi. is very similar)
queries • Query6b • Need two criteria on the same field, uses an AND ex: X>Y AND X<Z
Queries • Query6c: • Create a query that lists each genre name, the number of shows within that genre, and the total number of viewers for that genre. • Hint: Need to use the Totals Row • Out of the three fields, one will use Count, the other will use Sum
Queries • Query6c Continued: • Your results must include all genres, even if they have no shows Right click on the relationship in query-design view, and select “Join Properties”
Queries • Query6e • You can only use the provided formula if the Rating field in your Shows table is named the same – otherwise it needs modified
Analysis Questions • If you run out of room to type responses, change the field data-type to memo.
And Finally: • GO TO OPEN LAB.
