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).
