1 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2013 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Extended Learning Module J (Office 2010 Version) Implementing a Database with Microsoft Access

2 Mod J-2 SOLOMON DATABASE  The steps to creating a database are 1. Define entity classes and primary keys 2. Define relationships among the entity classes 3. Define fields for each relation (file) 4. Use a data definition language to create the database, which is the focus of this Module

3 Mod J-3 SOLOMON DATABASE  In Figure J.1 (p. 474) on the following 3 slides, we’ve recreated the correct database structure from Extended Learning Module C  Revisit Module C if you need a refresher

4 Mod J-4 SOLOMON DATABASE

5 Mod J-5 SOLOMON DATABASE

6 Mod J-6 SOLOMON DATABASE

7 Mod J-7 Creating Solomon’s Database  Data dictionary - contains the logical structure for the information  To create the Solomon Enterprise database: 1. Start Microsoft Access 2. Click on Blank Database in the upper left corner of the screen 3. Enter Solomon Enterprises.accdb as the database name 4. Click on Create

8 Mod J-8 Creating Solomon’s Database 1. Create a new database by clicking on Blank Database 2. Enter SolomonEnterprises.accdb

9 Mod J-9 Creating Solomon’s Database  Our recommendation: Create a relation (table) in Design view:  Must switch from Datasheet View to Design View  Click on View in the upper left corner and then Design View  Enter a table name  Use the Design View to enter the specifications for the table

10 Mod J-10 Creating Solomon’s Database To switch to Design View, click on View and then Design View This is Design View – our recommendation for creating the tables in a database

11 Mod J-11 Creating the Raw Material Relation  Enter the four fields of the Raw Material relation  Raw Material ID  Raw Material Name  QOH  Supplier ID  Click on the Raw Material ID row and then the key button to designate Raw Material ID as the primary key

12 Mod J-12 Creating the Raw Material Relation Primary key identifier and the Primary key button Integrity constraints for Raw Material ID

13 Mod J-13 Creating the Concrete Type Relation The fields for Concrete Type Primary Key Integrity Constraints

14 Mod J-14 Creating the Bill of Material Relation  We created (in Extended Learning Module C) the Bill of Material relation to eliminate the many-to-many relationship between the Concrete Type and Raw Material relations

15 Mod J-15 Creating the Bill of Material Relation  The Bill of Material relation has a primary key composed of two fields (composite primary key):  Concrete Type  Raw Material ID  Composite primary key - consists of the primary key fields from the two intersecting relations

16 Mod J-16 Creating the Bill of Material Relation Composite primary key

17 Mod J-17 DEFINING RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN SOLOMON’S DATABASE  The final structural task is to define how all the relations relate to each other  That is, link primary and foreign keys  Foreign key - a primary key of one file (relation) that appears in another file (relation)

18 Mod J-18 Primary and Foreign Key Logical Ties

19 Mod J-19 Defining Relationships between Relations  To create relationships  Click on Database Tools in the menu area and then click on the Relationships button  Make each relation appear on the palette by highlighting each relation name and clicking on Add  Then click on the Close button

20 Mod J-20 Defining Relationships between Relations Relationship palette Select tables and click on Add

21 Mod J-21 Defining Relationships between Relations

22 Mod J-22 ENTERING INFORMATION INTO SOLOMON’S DATABASE Double-click on any table to begin entering information

23 Mod J-23 Entering Information We double-clicked on the Supplier table and can now begin entering information We have completed entering all supplier information

24 Mod J-24 Referential Integrity  Referential integrity ensures consistency. For example, that you don’t put a non-existent Supplier ID into the Raw Material relation  The relationships we set up for referential integrity guard against bad information  Integrity constraints – rules that help ensure the quality of the information

25 Mod J-25 Enforcing Referential Integrity Because we entered a non- existent Supplier ID (445) that doesn’t exist, Access will not allow us to continue If you try to close the window, Access will allow you to change the information or save the good information without the bad

26 Mod J-26 Change the Structure of a Relation You can change the structure of a relation by clicking on View and then Design View In Design View, you can change the structure of a table

27 Mod J-27 CREATING A SIMPLE QUERY USING ONE RELATION  Query-by-example (QBE) tool - helps you graphically design the answer to a question  Suppose we wanted to see a list of raw materials that shows  Raw Material Name  Supplier ID

28 Mod J-28 Creating a Simple Query Using the Raw Material Relation First, click on Create and then Query Design Second, select the table, click on Add, and then close the box.

29 Mod J-29 Creating a Simple Query Using the Raw Material Relation The result of the query Drag and drop the appropriate field names and then click on the exclamation point (Run).

30 Mod J-30 Creating a Simple Query with a Condition Set the condition here

31 Mod J-31 CREATING AN ADVANCED QUERY USING MORE THAN ONE RELATION  Suppose we want a query that shows  All order numbers  Date of orders  Where the goods were delivered  The contact person  The truck involved in each delivery  The truck driver in each delivery

32 Mod J-32 Steps to Create an Advanced Query 1. Click on Create in the menu area and then Query Design 2. In the Show Table dialog box  Select and Add the relation names  Close the Show Table dialog box  Tables linked appear are joined by lines with  1 beside the table with the primary key  The infinity sign by the table with the foreign key

33 Mod J-33 Steps to Create an Advanced Query 3. Drag and drop the fields that you want from the appropriate relation into the QBE grid in the order that you want 4. Click on the exclamation point (Run) in the button bar to see the results of the query

34 Mod J-34 Steps to Create an Advanced Query From the Show Table box, select the appropriate tables – Customer, Order, Employee and Truck

35 Mod J-35 Steps to Create an Advanced Query Drag and drop the appropriate fields

36 Mod J-36 Steps to Create an Advanced Query The completed query

37 Mod J-37 GENERATING A SIMPLE REPORT 1. Click on Create in the menu area and then the Report Wizard button 2. Choose tables and/or queries: Lets you choose which table/query you want 3. Choose fields: Lets you choose the fields you want

38 Mod J-38 Grouping, Sorting, Layout of Report 4. Grouping: Lets you specify grouping of information (we chose the default) 5. Sorting: Allows you to specify sorting (we chose the default) 6. Layout and orientation: Allows you to select layout and page orientation (we chose the default)

48 Mod J-48 Specify Table/Query Fields Select the Supply Chain query Select all the fields of the Supply Chain query

49 Mod J-49 Grouping and Sorting Information  Top-level grouping: Allows you to choose ordering. Since we created a query, Access has defaulted to the first field  Further grouping: Lets you specify groups within the top grouping of Concrete Type, but we don’t want any further grouping  Sorting: Next we have a chance to sort our information

50 Mod J-50 Steps for Grouping Information Group by Concrete Type and Type Description and then click Next.
