A database management system is necessary so that the user has the opportunity to sort and process a variety of information. It is very difficult to imagine a similar base outside a computer system. But if you still make comparisons, then it resembles a simple file cabinet.
The database involves the use of two categories - the database itself and the program. The database stores certain information, structured according to certain parameters. The program is necessary in order to work with stored information.
The use of databases is firmly entrenched in people's lives. There are both powerful programs for working with information, and not quite, which are widely used in highly specialized organizations. In addition, one DBMS, most likely, is known to absolutely everyone who has at least once worked with a computer. Naturally, this
is an Access database. In terms of its functional characteristics, it is in no way inferior to other versions of such programs. In addition, if the user is new to working with databases, then this utility is ideal as the first training support.
Among other programs that are in the Microsoft Office suite, Access is a black sheep. But this is understandable, because its use in everyday life is hindered by the specificity of this program. By its functionality, the Access database is more likely to be a professional utility. The likelihood of using it in a home or small office is too small.
As statistics show, a user who knows and knows how to work with the Access database is much more likely to get settled in modern life. Knowledge of the main points of the database will allow you to access a large amount of information.
The user will need to learn the basics of working with tables that require the creation of a database. In Access 2007, working with tables is practically no different from similar work in Excel. The main difference is the ability to work with entire table systems.
The tables that the user will create at work are not only equal, but also interconnected. The interconnected tabular form of the organization suggests that the software is a
relational database. We can say that the Access database is a whole mechanism, the operation of which depends on the health of each individual element of the system. At any time, the user will be able to get the information that he wants to know. In addition, the user independently builds all the laws by which the database will work. In other words, it determines the number of tables, their relationships, the type of information, and much more.
It is also worth noting that the Access database can be created in two ways - using the constructor and using the wizard. When using the constructor, you must have the basics of working with the program, because the user will take into account and determine all the nuances on his own. When creating the database using the wizard, the user will be able to select a specific template that will be provided to him by the program itself. The wizard can be used even by an experienced user in conditions of the need to create a large number of tables and links.
As a conclusion, we can say that the database in Access includes several types of work at once : designing the database, creating forms for inputting and outputting information, filling in all the necessary fields, and, accordingly, displaying the data in a table form when creating the database. Only with the quality performance of all these works, the database will provide information in the form in which it was planned by the user.
