Access Object (not a record)

An Access object can be a table, form, or macro, but a record is a single entry within a table.

Database Data Storage

Data in a database is stored in tables.

Saving Access Table Edits

Edits made to records in an Access table are automatically saved.

Access Database Constraint

Each field in an Access table has a data type that limits the type of data allowed in the field.

Study Notes

Access Objects

  • An Access database comprises various objects.
  • Examples include tables, forms, and macros.
  • A record is not an object; it's a single entry within a table.

Data Storage Location

  • Data in an Access database resides within tables.

Saving Edits

  • Changes to records are automatically saved.
  • Manually saving records is unnecessary during the session.

Access Database Properties

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

Table Views

  • Datasheet view is used for adding, editing, and deleting records.
  • Design view outlines the table structure and properties.
  • Datasheet view does not provide more field properties than design view.
  • Changes to a record in datasheet view are automatically saved upon moving away from that record.

Database Utilities

  • Back up and compact/repair utilities are used for database restoration in case of loss or damage.

Selection Filters

  • A precise match on "Manager" in a selection filter selects a record containing the exact string “Manager”.

Selection Filter Conditions

  • Possible filter conditions include "equal to," and "AND/OR" conditions.

Database Creation

  • Access initially creates a blank database with at least one empty table.
  • Databases can be created from templates to incorporate pre-defined objects.
  • Database templates do not mean that the objects within them cannot be modified.

Adding Predefined Tables

  • A database template is used to add predefined tables to an existing database.
