INTRODUCTION
A collection of related tables with data is called a database. The data remains in
an organized order in a database
Some advantages of Database-
❖ Easy retrieval of data
❖ Reduction of data inconsistency
❖ Reduction of data redundancy
❖ Easy manipulation of data
❖ Easy sharing of data
❖ High data security
RDBMS
❑ Relational Database Management System ( RDBMS )
A Relational Database is a collection of data items organized as a set of formally
described tables. Data can be accessed or re-assembled from these tables in
different ways without a need to reorganize the database tables.
A relational database is a set of tables containing data fitted into some pre-
defined categories. Each table ( relation ) contains one or more data categories in
columns. Each row contains a unique instance of data for the categories defined
by the columns.
The concept of Relational Database was given by E.F. Codd at IBM in 1970.
Creating a Table
❑ CREATING A TABLE
A new table can be entered into an existing database by using Tables group on
the create tab. The two major ways to create a table are :

• Datasheet view = It is used to enter the data in the table directly.

• Design view = In this view, we have to first create the structure.

TABLE STRUCTURE
The table structure shows that what kind of table has to be created. A table structure
identifies the name, size and type of various fields. A table stores various types of data.
The data entry varies according to the type of fields in a table. Some Data Types are as
follows;
• TEXT = The data type Text contains letters, numbers and symbols. It can contain
combination of Upto 255 characters.
• NUMBER = The data type Number contains numeric value.
• CURRENCY = The data type currency includes symbols of currency.
• Date/Time = This data type contains date and time.
• Memo = It contains long texts with all kinds of data.
• YES/NO = It represents only two values, Yes/No, On/Off or True/ False.
PRIMARY KEY
A table should have at least one field that has a unique value for each
record.
A primary key does not allow null values and must always have a
unique value.
A Primary key is used to relate a table to foreign keys in other tables.
If you don’t have a primary key, MS ACCESS asks you to create it when
you save the table.
