Week 2:Access day one


Today in class, we were introduced to Access. We learned that Access is used to create, edit, update data in a database. The term database describes a collection of data organized in a manner that allows access,retrieval and use of that data. We learned that the primary key is the unique identifier. The rows in Access are called records, and the columns are called fields. While entering in data in the columns, we learned how to view the data in design view and in datasheet view. In the design view is where you create the structure od your datasheet. You can also change the data type in this area. We were also able to learn how to insert a form and a report of the data that we entered.
