1 End Show 3.4 Database Management System Unit 3

2 End Show What is a database? It’s an organized collection of data, related to a particular subject or purpose.

3 End Show Databases are actually much more powerful than spreadsheets. You can manipulate data much more easily using a database.

4 End Show Some of the actions that you can perform on a database that would be difficult (if not impossible )to perform on a spreadsheet are: Retrieve all records that match certain criteria Update records in bulk Cross-reference records in different tables Perform complex aggregate calculations

7 End Show Data Base Management Systems (DBMS) Access FileMaker Pro Oracle or SQL Server

8 End Show Provides you with the software tools you need to organize data in a flexible manner. DBMS

9 End Show Add data to the database Modify or delete data from the database Ask questions (or queries) about the data stored in the database and Produce reports summarizing selected contents You can

10 End Show A DBMS contains several objects  Tables  Queries  Forms  Reports etc.

11 End Show Tables allow us to create the framework for storing information in a database.

12 End Show How Access stores data in Tables Like all other databases, Access 2007 stores data in tables. They look a lot like the cells of a spreadsheet with columns and rows. Each horizontal column represents a table record, and each vertical column represents a table field. See Table example below:

13 End Show A table organizes data into columns

14 End Show and Rows

15 End Show A row represent a RECORD containing all the information about one item (or entity). 004Sunil Male 05/07/2005 No 001 002 003 005 No 001 002 003 005 NameSexDOBNameSexDOB

20 End Show If you simply want to recall the information stored in a table you can open the table and scroll through the records contained within it

21 End Show You can query the table so that it can retrieve data according to your request with the use of QUERIES Or

22 End Show Forms are user-friendly interfaces that allow users to enter information in a graphical form. That information can be directly passed to the database.

23 End Show Information could be retrieved from our database through the use of queries in a tabular form. -- not exactly the most attractive marketing material!

24 End Show Reports provide attractively formatted summaries of the data contained in one or more tables and/or queries.

25 End Show Reports allow the inclusion of graphics, attractive formatting and pagination.

26 End Show Offer an organized mechanism for storing, managing and retrieving information through the use of tables
