Study Notes

Access Objects

  • An Access object is not a Record. Tables, forms, and macros are Access objects.

Data Storage in a Database

  • Data in a database is stored in a Table.

Saving Edits in an Access Table

  • Changes made in a table are saved automatically when moving to a new record. You do not need to manually save.

Access Database Characteristics

  • Each field in an Access table has a specific data type.
  • All records within a table have the same fields.
  • Tables in a database do not necessarily have the same number of records.
  • A primary key uniquely identifies a record.

Table Views in Access

  • Datasheet view allows adding, editing, and deleting records.
  • Datasheet view displays the data, not the table design.
  • Design view provides more field properties than Datasheet view.
  • Datasheet view changes are automatically saved when moving between records.

Database Utilities

  • Compact and Repair Database utility is used to recover data if lost or damaged.

Selection Filter Matching

  • Using an "exact match" filter for "Manager" would only match the entry Manager, not Sales Manager or manager.

Selection Filter Conditions

  • Selection filters support equal and AND, OR conditions

Database Creation

  • A blank database starts with a blank table.
  • Access opens a blank table in datasheet view.
  • Database templates save time as they include pre-defined objects.
  • Predefined objects in templates can be modified.

Adding Predefined Tables to a Database
