Access is used as the interface design tool which data is inserted, deleted, updated,
and queried. Database also can be viewed with the help of Access through the forms
that have been generated. Generally, we can use form to control access to data, such
as which fields of data are displayed. For example, certain users may not need to see
all the fields in a table. Providing those users with a form that contains just the
necessary fields makes it easier for us to use the database. An effective form speeds
the use of the database, because people don’t have to search for what they need. A
visually attractive form makes working with the database more pleasant and more
efficient and it can also help prevent incorrect data from being entered. While data can
be entered directly into a table, the larger the table, the harder it is to be sure that data
is in right field and record.
i. In the Navigation Pane, locate and double-click the table to which you
want to add the field. Access opens the table in Datasheet view.
ii. Scroll to the right or left side of the datasheet (depending on your
Windows Regional and Language settings), and locate the blank
column. By default, the words Click to Add appear in the column header
of the blank column.
iii. Enter some data in the first blank row beneath the header.
-or-
Paste one or more pieces of data into the field, starting with the first blank
cell. Save the changes.
Before remove a column from datasheet, there are two rules which need to be
consider:
• When you remove a column, you delete all the data in the column, and
you cannot undo the deletion. For that reason, you should back up the
table before you delete the column
3. Modifying Data
Access provides one text control for use with Short Text and Long Text (also
called Memo) fields. Typically, you can tell if the underlying field is short or long
text by the size of the control, which usually reflects the size needed for the
underlying table field. A Short Text field can store up to 255 characters and a
Long Text field can store 64,000 characters. Furthermore, the data can be
modified in Form View which by highlighting the data that are required to
modify, then edit the data by typing new information. Below is the example of
modification that have been made:

CREATING QUERIES
A query is a request for data results, and for action on data. You can use a query to
answer a simple question, to perform calculations, to combine data from different
tables, or even to add, change, or delete table data. Below is the example of queries
that have been generated in Access.
i. Design View
CREATING FORMS
Access gives three main ways to create a form:
In this report, Form wizard are the method that have been used to generate the form.
The form that have been created as follow:
As shown in figure Order Form, the details which required are shown and detail of the
order can be select, edit and delete. Moreover, new order can be made by clicking the
sign . After new data have been insert, click save to ensure the data enter are send
to the database. Finally, the total price is formulated which the price times with the
quantity in order to get the result.
Conclusion
We created a database that a market can use for keeping track on business
purposes. Designing databases simply is a time-consuming business. Historical
sources will give rise to all manner of complications and problems, intellectual and
in terms of the mechanics of databases, and the more you can anticipate these
and accommodate them in the design of the database, the more efficient and less
frustrating the subsequent use of the database will be. No database is ever perfect,
and the only indicator of quality, or success, when it comes to database design is
whether or not it serves the various functions that you intended. If you can manage
the information from your sources in the way that you need, and if you can perform
the analysis that you require, and if you can be as flexible as you need in both of
these areas, then your design is successful. New things learn are if information
that would like to analyse which appears repeatedly, but have nowhere specific to
put it (i.e. for which you will need to add new fields). Watch out for your datatypes,
and change them where they are unhelpful. Look for data that could be
standardised or classified. Last but not least, look out for information that you had
not anticipated when designing the database.
