Study Notes
Creating Relationships Between Tables
-
A common field is required to create a relationship between tables.
-
One-to-one relationships connect one record in the master table with one specific record in the transaction table.
-
One-to-many relationships are commonly used in databases. Each master record can be associated with multiple transaction records.
-
Data must exist in the master table before it can be entered into the transaction table.
-
Referential integrity helps prevent data inconsistency and ensures that deleted data remains synchronized across related tables.
-
Creating relationships between tables prevents users from entering incorrect data in referenced fields.
-
Database Management Systems (DBMS) maintain data integrity.
-
Many-to-many relationships, where one record in one table can be associated with multiple records in another table, are represented by the example of customers and products.
-
The relationship between tables is established through a dedicated window.
Queries in Base
-
Queries are used to retrieve information from a database.
-
Queries can be designed using multiple methods, including wizards, design views, and SQL language.
-
The Query Design window is divided into two sections.
-
Queries can be created from multiple tables.
-
Queries can be run multiple times and can be edited.
-
The keyboard shortcut to run a query is F5.
-
Queries can perform calculations on numerical data, including summing, finding minimum and maximum values.
-
To add a field from the available fields list box to the query, click the ">" button.
-
Relational operators like ">", "=", and "!=" can be used to set criteria while designing a query.
-
The Add Table dialog box appears when initially opening the Query Design window.
-
If there is no numerical data to be worked upon in a query, the summarizing step is not performed.
Forms and Reports
-
Base offers a variety of tools, including forms and reports, to enhance database handling.
-
Forms provide an intuitive interface to enter, edit, and view data.
-
Reports allow you to present data in organized and visually appealing formats.
-
Table designs can be viewed and modified in Design view, allowing users to set field properties.
-
Datasheet view displays data in rows and columns, enabling data entry and editing.
Database User Interface
-
The Base User Interface consists of seven menu items: File, Edit, View, Insert, Tools, Window, and Help.
-
The components of the LibreOffice Base User Interface include the Title Bar, Database Pane, Tasks Pane, and Status Bar.
-
The navigation box allows users to browse through different records within a specific table.
Editing and Deleting tables in Sports Day Database
-
To edit a table, right-click on the table name and choose the "Edit" option from the pop-up menu.
-
Modifications made in the Design view do not affect previously entered records.
-
To delete a table, confirm the deletion action by pressing the "Yes" button in the confirmation box.
-
Tables can be renamed by right-clicking on the table name and selecting "Rename."
Relationships Between Tables
-
Relationships between tables are crucial for managing data redundancy and consistency.
-
Common fields are essential for establishing relationships.
-
There are different types of relationships: one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many.
-
The data types of common fields between tables must match.
-
Once a relationship is set, a DBMS manages data integrity.
-
Relationships between tables prevent invalid data entry in referenced fields.
-
Changes made in the master table are automatically reflected in the transaction table.
Advantages of Relating Tables
-
Relationships reduce data redundancy.
-
Referential integrity is maintained to prevent missing data.
-
Data integrity is ensured through relationships.
Creating Relationships Between Tables (Example: Events and EventCategory)
-
Create a relationship by dragging the common field (CategoryID) from the Events table to the EventCategory table in the Relationship Design screen.
-
One-to-many relationships are established when one master record (CategoryID in EventCategory) is linked to multiple transaction records (CategoryID in Events).
