    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).
