Study Notes
MS Access Data Types
- Use Text data type to store a person's name, allowing for up to 255 characters.
- Select Attachment data type for storing links to documents or files, enabling various file types to be attached to records.
- AutoNumber field data type generates unique identifiers automatically, ideal for primary keys.
- Use Currency data type for monetary values requiring precision up to four decimal places.
- To store dates and times, the Date/Time data type is used, capable of storing both time and date information.
- Choose Long Text data type for alphanumeric data such as sentences and paragraphs, accommodating large amounts of text.
XML Schema Concepts
- minOccurs in XML schema specifies the minimum number of times an element can occur; it can be set to zero for optional elements.
- End tags for simple groupings in XML schema are represented using a forward slash at the end of an opening tag (e.g.,
<element/>). - maxOccurs defines the maximum number of times an element can appear in the XML document, allowing for lists of varying lengths.
- The required attribute indicates whether an element is mandatory (must be present) or optional.
- Attributes within an XML schema are defined using the
<xs:attribute>tag, detailing their name, type, and constraints. - A complex type definition is concluded with the end tag for its respective element, indicating the closure of the type structure.
Data Type Ranges and Format
- The Single data type can store values ranging approximately from -3.402823E38 to 3.402823E38.
- Variant data type is suitable for storing numbers with the highest magnitude range, as it can hold different types of numerical data.
- The Percentage format displays numeric values as percentages, often multiplying the actual value by 100 and adding a "%" sign.
- The Double data type can store a value as small as approximately -1.79769313486232E308, enabling high precision.
- Currency format ensures displayed values have at least one digit and follow regional settings for negative amounts and decimal places.
- The Decimal data type can store values up to approximately ±79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335, offering high precision.
Conditional Statements and BI Systems
- The wildcard symbol used for searching patterns with any number of characters is the asterisk (*).
- In a truth table, the result is true when both A and B are true in an AND operation.
- The comparison operator
>=checks if a value is greater than or equal to another. - The IN keyword in a conditional statement checks if a value matches any value within a specified set of values.
- The WHERE clause
Age > 26signifies filtering records where the age value exceeds 26. - The not equal operator in a conditional statement is represented by
<>.
Business Intelligence Systems
- The main purpose of Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS) is to enhance collaborative decision-making processes within organizations.
- Predictive Analytics BI systems are useful for forecasting future outcomes based on patterns and data relationships.
- Knowledge-Management (KM) systems facilitate the organization and application of information to enhance business intelligence.
- The Expert System component of BI encapsulates human expertise using If/Then rules to guide decisions.
- The Decision Support System (DSS) improves decision-making by delivering timely and relevant information to users.
- Market Basket Analysis computes correlations of frequently purchased items based on historical order data within BI systems.
