Meaning of database

A database is the computer equivalent of an organized list of information. Typically, this information has a common subject or purpose, such as the list of employees, phonebook guide or a classmates address book. Microsoft Access 2003 (Access 2003) is a database system management (database programs). It can store, manage, manipulate, analyze, retrieve, display or publish information from database.

Name of Module:

Students Profile

Learning Outcomes:

Student should be able to create a table, define primary key and insert data.

Knowledge and Skills: 1. Students known how to differentiate field, record and table 2. Students known all types of data 3. Creating table. 4. Define primary key 5. Inserting the data in the table. Module summary: At the end of this module, table below will be created by students.

Activities summary: This module involved a few activities such as; 1. Creating tables. 2. Inserting the data in the table. 3. Exercise.

9

Information and Communication Technology Literacy For Secondary– Data Base Module

Activity 1: Creating Table Next you will be creating the fields that make up a database. This is similar to creating a blank personnel form (on paper) that will be "filled-in" for each employee (Name, Address, Phone Number, etc – are called fields in a database). This "forms" are called records in a database. There will be a record, or form, for each employee. All the forms, together, make up a Table (database). For example, students profiles table as shown below. (Figure 1)

record 2

Field 1 (numbers)

Field 2 (name)

Field 3 (address)

Field 4 (icno)

Figure 1

The table above content four records. Each records have four fields which are numbers field, students name, address and ic number. At the end of this module, students will creating a database which is consist a table name “students profile”.

10

Information and Communication Technology Literacy For Secondary– Data Base Module

Steps Creating Table 1. Open MS Access 2003 software (Refer module 1, if needed). 2. Click File, click Open, find students profiles database file then click Open button. (refer Figure 2)

Figure 2

3. Database window students profile: Database will appeared as shown below (Figure 3) then click New button at database windows toolbar. The dialog box in Figure 4 will appear.

Figure 5

5. At Field Name column, type in numbers and at Data type column, change value Text to Number. (refer Figure 6)

Click this button to view the list of data type, then click number

Figure 6

13

ICTL for Secondary School - Microsoft Access Module

There are 10 types of data as stated in the table below; Types Data

Text

Memo

Number

Function You may type in any alphabetical/numerical data that you desire-up to a maximum of 255 characters. As indicated, this is a text field, so you can't do mathematical calculations. Examples of Text data are: names, addresses, stock numbers, room numbers, zip codes, etc This field is for lots of text. You can have up to 32,000 characters. This field is for numbers where you want to add, subtract, multiply, divide, average, and do numerical calculations. This field can be a very large size, so when we get to Field Properties, we'll talk about "sizing" this field so it doesn't take up too much "space" in storage.

Date/Time

Dates and Times. You may format this later, as you may desire.

Currency

Dollar ($). You may format this later, as you may desire. For example Ringgit Malaysia (RM)

AutoNumber

Yes/No

OLE Object

Hyperlink

Lookup Wizard

This field is an "automatic" counter that assigns a number each time you put data into a new field.

This is a "True/False" or "Yes/No, 0/1” type of field. This means "Object Link Embedding" which indicates you can insert a graphic, picture, sound, etc. Pretty neat to put a photograph in a personnel record or a picture of an inventory item in the stock record (advanced stuff). A hyperlink is a pointer from one object to another. The destination is frequently another Web page, but it can also be a picture, an e-mail address, a file (such as a multimedia file or Microsoft Office document), or a program. The hyperlink itself can be displayed as text or as a picture. This wizard creates a lookup column, which displays a list of values you can choose from.

14

ICTL for Secondary School - Microsoft Access Module

7. Insert data in the Field Name, Data Types for each fields as displays (Figure 7). Students can move to the next column by press “Tab key”.

1. Place the cursor at address 2. Change Field Size value to 100

Figure 7

Note: Place the cursor at the address inside the Field Name, then change Field Size value from 50 to 100. 8. Click numbers at field name column, click at Edit menu bar, then click Primary Key or icon Primary Key
