A database is an organized collection of related data. It manages very large amounts of data, supports efficient access to very large amounts of data and concurrent access to very large amounts of data. Microsoft Access is a database management system (DBMS) from Microsoft that combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software- development tools. Example: bank and its ATM machines, a filing cabinet, an address book, a telephone directory, a timetable, etc. HOME Topic : Databases can store information about people, books, products, or anything else. Most, but not all, databases are computerised. HOME Topic : Examples of DBMS 1. Microsoft Access 2. dBASE III Plus 3. FoxBASE Plus 4. SoftBASE 5. Clipper 6. Paradox 7. FileMaker Pro HOME Topic : Benefits of a Database 1. Can store very large numbers of records efficiently. 2. It is very quick and easy to find information. 3. It is easy to add new data and to edit or delete old data. 4. Data can be sought for and found easily. 5. Data can be sorted easily. 6. More than one person can access the same database at the same time – multi-access. 7. Security may be better than in paper files. HOME Topic : Database Terminologies 5. Field size: Amount of space reserved for storing data in a field 6. Record: A record is the collection of values for all the fields pertaining to one entity. The entity could be anything ranging from a person, product, company, transaction, etc. 7. Table: A table is a collection of related records. For example, student’s table, employee table, product table, customer, and orders tables. Normally, in a table, records are represented by rows and fields are represented as columns. 8. File: In the database context, a file is defined as a collection of related records. Normally, these records contain information pertaining to a subject, such as students, customers or invoices. 9. Key: Commonly known as a primary key, refers to a field that uniquely identifies a record in a table. 10. Foreign Key: Is a key used in one table to represent the values of a primary key in a related table. While primary keys must contain unique values, foreign keys may have duplicates. HOME Topic : HOME Topic : ACTIVITIES 1.Loading files from different sources (csv files) 2.Create file structures in Ms-Access 3.

Define Information processing 2. List the basic stages of information processing :. 3. Mention the procedures for Information processing HOME Topic : INFORMATION PROCESSING Information processing is the change (processing) of information in any manner detectable by an observer. As such, it is a process that describes everything that happens (changes) in the universe, from the falling of a rock (a change in position) to the printing of a text file from a digital computer system. In the latter case, an information processor is changing the form of presentation of that text file HOME Topic : In computing, information processing broadly refers to the use of algorithms to transform data— the defining activity of computers HOME Topic : The five basic stages of information processing are: Collection of Data -- capturing data from their sources and recording it onto some media (e.g., paper). Preparation of Data -- copying, grouping, or arranging data in a more convenient way for input. Input of Data -- entering the data or sending the stored data into the processing system HOME Topic : Processing of Data -- calculating or manipulating the input data and even storing the results for future use Output of Information -- giving out the processed results in a readable form (e.g., a report). HOME Topic : Procedures for information processing 1. Collation of information 2. Organization of information 3. Analysis of information 4.
