      INTRODUCTION

      A database is the collection of data organized in such a way that allows access, retrieval, and use of the data. The organization of data is done through the use of table called database table. A row in the table is called a record while a column is called a field.

      Microsoft Access is one of the most commonly used database packages or Database Management System (DBMS) used in the creation and management of database others being Oracle, and FoxBASE.

      Microsoft Access is a Relational database package that is it is structured to recognize relations between stored items of information. The characteristics of relational database are listed below.

      Data is organized in table format.

      A column represents a field.

      A row represents a record.

      Tables can be related.

      DATABASE TERMINOLOGIES

      There are many important terms used in database. The following are some of the common ones and their meaning.

      Field or Data item: This is an item of data in a record. It is made up of characters and it describes the attributes of a person, object or event. These attributes includes Name, Address, Height, Age, Gender. Occupation, etc.

      Record: This is a collection of related fields about a person or event in a database.

      File: This is a collection of related records in a database.

      Primary Key: This is the unique field through which a record can be accessed in a database.

      Foreign Key: This is a field in one table that is a primary key in another database table.

      Database: This is a collection of related files.

      Relational Model: This is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) that is based on the relational model (related by the primary keys).

      Constraints: These are rules enforced on data columns on database table. They are used to limit the type of data that can go into a table and this ensures the reliability of the data in the database.

      SQL: This stands for Structured Query Language which is a computer language for creating, storing, manipulating, and retrieving data stored in relational database. All relational database management systems like Microsoft Access, MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server uses SQL as standard database Language.

      Database Object: This is a data structure used to store or reference data in a database. Examples of Microsoft Access objects are Table, Form, Query, Modules, Macros, and Report.

      RELATIONSHIPS IN RELATIONAL DATABASE

      There are three main types of relationships in relational database i.e. One to One, One to Many and Many to Many. These relationships imply that the data in one table is related to the data in another table(s).

      One to One

      In One to One relationship, each record in one table has at most one related record in another table. For example, in a One to One relationship each record in Table1 can have only one matching record in Table 2, and each record in Table 2 can have only one matching record in Table 1. This relationship is mostly used to divide a table with
