PERIOD: ONE
Contents
Definition of a database
Database can be defined as a collection of operational data (records) stored at a
central location for use by many different users.
A database is a single collection of data for one or more purposes stored with
minimum duplication of data items so as to provide a consistent and controlled pool of
For example, a schools’ database will contain data relating to the students, may
contain data relating to their academic results, school fees, accommodation, parent
information (and so on) for the purpose of managing the students. There can also be a
library database in a school, there can be a database comprising data from all sections
for the effective management of the school. Traditional databases are organized by
fields, records, and files. A field is a single piece of information; a record is one complete
set of fields; and a file is a collection of records.

BENEFIT OF A DATABASE
1. It removes unwanted data
2. It makes correct data available to the user
3. It manages large quantity of data or information
4. Quick, efficient storage and retrieval of data or information.
5. Good security of information
6. Efficient updating of information.

Objectives
At the end of the lesson students should be able to state the different forms of database
organization.
Contents
Database Model (Structure)
A database model is a type of data model that determines the logical structure of a
database and fundamentally determines manner in which data can be stored,
organized, and manipulated.
Relational database structure is the most popular example of a database model it uses
a table-based format.
Although, there are many database models, yet the three basic database models are
• Hierarchical database model
• Network database model
• Relational database model

HEIRACHICAL DATABASE MODEL


In a hierarchical model, data is organized into a tree-like structure, implying a single
parent for each record. A sort field keeps sibling records in a particular order.
Hierarchical structures were widely used in the early mainframe database management
systems, such as the Information Management System (IMS) by IBM. This structure is
very efficient to describe many relationships in the real world; table of contents,
ordering of paragraphs/verses, any nested and sorted information.

This hierarchy is used as the physical order of records in storage. Record access is done
by navigating through the data structure using pointers combined with sequential
accessing

NETWORK MODEL

The network model organizes data using two fundamental concept called records and
sets. Records contain fields. Sets define one-to-many relationships between records:
one owner, many members.
A record can be an owner in any number of sets, and a member in any number of sets.
Thus the relationship between records and sets is many-to-many.
Relational Database Model
Relational Databases are databases that store information in multiple tables that
are interrelated. In a relational database, a specific column of a table match a column in
another table

The relational model was introduced by E.F. Codd in 1970 as a way to make database
management systems more independent of any particular application.

A relational database uses tables with rows and column to show relationship amongst
data in database. Relational data is very useful in creating multiple tables linked together
using relationship.
Objectives
At the end of the lesson students should be able to:
1. define database management system
2. state different types of DBMS
3. state the features of MS Access

Contents
The database management system is a software that controls the storage,
retrieval and manipulation of data stored in a database.
Using a DBMS makes file easy to store, edit and retrieved effectively. Examples of DBMS
are: Microsoft Access, Dbase IV, Oracle, MYSQL, FoxBASE Plus, and Sybase.
Introduction to MS Access
Microsoft Access is a database management system (DBMS) and a complete
application development environment. Unlike some DBMS programs, Access includes
the tools you need to develop user-friendly interfaces and reports.
Features of MS Access: Interface Components

The Access 2010 user interface provides the ability to work with a database as a
complete file, and the ability to work with individual database objects. The three main
components to the Access 2010 user interface are:
Ribbon

Common to all Microsoft Office applications, the Ribbon is a panel of command


buttons and icons organized into a set of tabs. The Ribbon appears across the top of
the program window. Each tab on the ribbon contains groups of commands related to
specific database tasks.

Navigation Pane

A pane on the left side of the program window that displays database objects.
Backstage view

A collection of commands on the File tab of the Ribbon.

Evaluation

1. Define database management system


2. State different types of DBMS
3. State the features of Microsoft Access
Contents
Objective: at the end of the class, students should be able to:
1. describe various database objects.
2. State basic database operations
3. State field types in Microsoft Access

An Access database can contain various types of database objects, including tables,
queries, forms, reports, macros and modules. The following sections briefly introduce
database objects. All database objects can be accessed from the Access Navigation
Pane.

Tables

The basic building block of any database is a table. A database table is similar in
appearance to a list or spreadsheet, in that the data is stored in rows and columns.

The row and column layout is called a datasheet. Each row in the table is a record. Each
record consists of one or more fields, and each column in the table is a field. The
preceding figure shows the Datasheet view of a table named “Vendors.” The table
contains six records (rows), and each record is about a specific vendor. Notice that
each field (column) contains a specific category of information, such as name, address,
phone number and so on for each vendor.

Forms

Forms are commonly used as data entry screens. They are user-friendly interfaces for
working with data, and they often contain elements and command buttons that make
entering data and performing various other tasks quick and easy.

Queries

You use queries to extract subsets of data from one or more tables. The data you want
to retrieve may be stored in several tables, and a query allows you to view data from
several tables in a single datasheet. The result of a query is called a record set or result
set.
Reports

You use reports to print and summarize data. For example, a report such as the one
shown below can group customers by country, and then list pertinent contact
information. Each report is formatted to present the information in the most readable
way possible. You can format any report to fit your requirements and you can create
custom reports as well.

It is possible to run a report at any time and it will always reflect the current state of
the data in the database. Generally, the reports will be printed, but one can also view
them on the screen, export them to another application, or send them as email
messages.

Basic operations of MS Access


v Searching
v Sorting
v Modifying
v Generating reports
Field Types in Microsoft Access
When a new database is created in access, a type of a field must be specified. The
three main types of fields are Alphanumeric, Numeric, and Boolean
• Alphanumeric data can store alphabetic characters (text) with numeric data
(numbers) that will not be used for calculations. In MS-Access alphanumeric is
called text
• A numeric field type is used numeric values that be used for calculations.
There are different types of numeric field
i. Integer
ii. Decimal
iii. Currency
iv. Date and Time
• A Boolean field type is used to store data in a Yes/No (or True/False, 0/1) format
for decision making operations.
Objective: at the end of the class, students should be able to:
1. Create a table using MS Access application program
2. Perform simple MS Access query

Content

How to create tables in MS Access

• Open Microsoft Access 2010 from Start Menu


• Click on the Blank database (on the middle page of MS-Access start page
• Enter Database File Name (example: student.accdb) (on the right page of MS-
Access start page)

How to Create New Table in Microsoft Access 2010

• Click on Create Tab


• Click on Table Design Button

• You will see the table designation windows appear


• Enter fields name and its data type as below:

• Set field stdid to Primary Key (Not allow duplicate data for stdid) by Right Click
on that field and choose Primary Key


• Click <Ctrl-S> to Save the Table

Linking Tables Together (RELATIONSHIP)


To create a database to manage something, the database must contain at least two
tables. In addition, the two tables must have relationship to each other.
Relationship
A relationship of two tables occurs through a primary key of a table. This primary key
becomes the foreign key of another table.
Primary Key is a key that you set on a field of the table to prohibit the duplicate value in
the table. It also has the role to create the relationship between the tables. The
relationship cannot happen if the main table does not have primary and the childreen
tables do not contain foreign key.

Foreign Key
Foreign key is a primary key field of a table that exists to another table.
TYPES OF RELATIONSHIP
1. One-To-One Relationship

2. One-to-many relationship

3. Many-to-Many relationship
Simple Access Query

• Open Access 2010 and select a database. Click the "File" tab and select the
"Open" button. Select a database from the recent database list in the File menu
list.
• Click the "Create" tab and select "Query Wizard." Select "Simple Query Wizard"
and click "OK." In the "Tables/Queries" field, select the table that you want to
use in the query. Add field names by clicking the field name and clicking the right
arrow. Click "Next."

PowerPoint includes many features to enhance the look of presentations, including the
ability to set font and size, background color of each slide, animation, or transitions
that will help maintain consistency throughout your presentation.

PowerPoint Working Environment


At the top left hand corner, we find the "Office" button. When we click on this button,
we have access to commonly used functions in PowerPoint, such as "New", "Open"
and "Save" and "Print.

To the right of the “office” button, in the title bar, we find the "Quick Access toolbar".
By default, this toolbar comes with the "Save", "Undo" and "Redo “buttons. The "Quick
Access" toolbar is the only toolbar wherein we can add or remove buttons. In the
middle of the title bar, we find the name of our file and the name of the application.
On the right side of the title bar we have the "Minimize" "Maximize" and "Close"
buttons.

Under the title bar, we have the "Ribbon". In the "Ribbon", we find all the commands
that can be used, in "PowerPoint".

Clicking a tab displays the various groups in the "Ribbon", depending on the selected
tab,.
For example, the "Home" tab has the "Clipboard", "Slides", "Font", "Paragraph,"
"Drawing" and "Editing" groups.
