Setting up a Database
[IMAGE]To start creating the DVDVG Database, open the application
Microsoft Access 2003. Once the program has loaded create a new
database by clicking on the “Create new file…’ link, on the “Getting
Started” Panel.
Alternatively, if you cannot see the Getting Started Panel, you can
go to File> New…
Then Select “Blank Database” from the panel.
Microsoft Access will then open a file dialog, in which you should
select a location on your local hard disk to store the database.
Once you select a valid location, Access will automatically create the
database for you, and then it will open up the database main window as
shown in Figure 1.2.

Creating the Tables
===================
Next will we create four tables to store information about the
customers, products and rentals. The three tables will be called:
Ø tblCustDetails: Information about the customers
Ø tblDVDDetails: Information on the products which are DVDs
Ø tblVGDetails: Information on the products which are Video Games
Ø tblRentals: Information on the products which have been rented out
to customers
Notice that all the tables have been prefixed with “tbl”. This is so
that when we refer to “tblCustDetails” for example, we know that it is
a table, as opposed to just “CustDetails” which could be a form, query
or report. There are also no spaces in table names, or field names,
this is to save space.
Creating tblCustDetails
-----------------------
1.) To start creating the tables select the Create table in Design
View option ([IMAGE]) from the tables tab in the database main window
(Figure 1.2).
2.) Access will now load up a new window in which you will input the
fields and fields’ type of the table.
[IMAGE]3.) In the Field Name Column enter in the name of each field as
shown below, for each field select the related field type (Figure
2.1.1):
Once you have done this, set the field CustomerID as the primary key.
Databases always used to fascinate me from my under graduation with great curiosity to know how large data is managed and queried. This led me to do Masters in computer science concentrating in the field of Data Management. In the course of my study, I understood the concepts of DBMS which provides a robust and efficient way of managing and mining data. Through the courses like Database Systems (ITCS 6160), Knowledge Discovery in Databases(ITCS 6162) and Knowledge Based Systems(ITCS 6155) I gained enough theoretical and practical knowledge about the importance of proper organization of data, good techniques to build an efficient database management system and how well the data can be managed.
Click the Import button to bring the data into the database. The import procedure executes. Upon completion, a summary of the import log appears.

There are many different types of databases, different performances of databases, and different database software functions. Before we get to much into databases lets take a step back and think about what a database really is and how they are applied. A database is a software program arranged to collect hold and process information. There are quite a bit of software programs out there already that can allow you to do all this. However, what makes databases different is that once you enter information in to, the database will operate the information in ways that allow you to analyze the information. Databases are designed in such a way that as to make it easier to obtain particular pieces of data. Databases are used in many ways existing in pretty much the entire world of computers. Databases are the most used method of storage for large multiuser funtions where the coordination between many users is necessary. This is just basically what a database is.
Now that I know what I'm using to create my database I need to know
MySQL Workbench and SQL Server 2008 have the same common goal, but how each program approaches that goal is different. There are some things that MySQL Workbench can do that SQL Server cannot. But, of course, Oracle can do everything. There are some general differences between MySQL and SQL Server for example: look, feel, methods, security, backup and recovery. These are the things this paper will discuss.
This authorization rules is to monitor every deal in the database. It is also part of the database management system. Data access is restricted for authorized users only.
A new energy is rising within CNS. Over the past year, many members of our administrative computing team have been developing Oracle applications. It is a new challenge to both CNS and our clients. We journey up the learning curve together and over the trial-and-error hurdles. Each day offers a new opportunity to understand another concept or process.
A proper physical database design is one of the most important steps that a database designer can complete to impact the overall performance of the database. When doing the physical database design it is important for the designer to understand what type of data is going to be included and how this data will be used. To better understand why this is important lets first break down a few of the basic elements that are important when completing the physical database design.
Databases are becoming as common in the workplace as the stapler. Businesses use databases to keep track of payroll, vacations, inventory, and a multitude of other taske of which are to vast to mention here. Basically businesses use databases anytime a large amount of data must be stored in such a manor that it can easily be searched, categorized and recalled in different means that can be easily read and understood by the end user. Databases are used extensively where I work. In fact, since Hyperion Solutions is a database and financial intelligence software developing company we produce one. To keep the material within scope I shall narrow the use of databases down to what we use just in the Orlando office of Hyperion Solutions alone.
keep track of who has books and who doesn't, she also needs to be able
of multiple types of end users. The data is stored in one location so that they
There are two user needs, one of the user needs will be that the user
In our world, people rely heavily on the power of technology every day. Kids are learning how to operate an iPad before they can even say their first word. School assignments have become virtual, making it possible to do anywhere in the world. We can receive information from across the world in less than a second with the touch of a button. Technology is a big part of our lives, and without it life just becomes a lot harder. Just like our phones have such an importance to us in our daily lives, database management systems are the same for businesses. Without this important software, it would be almost impossible for companies to complete simple daily tasks with such ease.
