Q8) You are tasked with creating a poster for your school's annual science fair. The poster
dimensions are 12 inches by 18 inches. Explain, with reasons, whether you would choose a
resolution of 150 dpi or 300 dpi for printing this poster.

Discuss the impact of your choice on both the quality of the printed poster and the file size.
When choosing a resolution (dots per inch - dpi) for printing a poster, it's essential to consider both
the quality of the printed poster and the resulting file size. The resolution determines the level of
detail and clarity in the printed image.
1. 150 dpi:
 Quality: A resolution of 150 dpi is generally considered suitable for large-format
printing like posters. It provides a decent level of quality, and from a distance, the
poster will likely look good.
2. 300 dpi:
 Quality: A resolution of 300 dpi is considered high-quality and is often the standard for
professional printing. It ensures sharp details and is ideal for close-up viewing. The text,
graphics, and images will appear crisp and clear.
In conclusion, for a school's annual science fair poster with dimensions of 12 inches by 18 inches, a
resolution of 300 dpi is a safer choice if you want to ensure the highest print quality, especially for

 HANDLING DATABASE AND RESEARCH – MS ACCESS

Q1: Dina has installed Ms Access on her computer but she has no idea what to do with it. Convince
her to use it by highlighting any three of its rich functions.
1. Efficient Data Organization:
 Tables and Relationships: Access allows you to create tables to store data. It excels in
managing large datasets by establishing relationships between tables, ensuring
efficient data organization and reducing redundancy.
 Queries: Dina can use queries to extract specific information from her database. This
makes it easy to filter, sort, and retrieve data based on specific criteria, enabling quick
and targeted access to information.
2. User-Friendly Interface for Customization:
 Forms: Access provides a user-friendly interface for creating customized data entry
forms. Dina can design forms that match her specific needs, making data entry and
retrieval intuitive for herself and others.
 Reports: Dina can generate detailed reports with ease. Whether for presentations or
analysis, Access allows her to create professional-looking reports that summarize and
visualize data effectively.

Q2: In Ms Access, what is the purpose of a primary key? What are the two rules applied to it by
default?
In Microsoft Access, a primary key serves as a unique identifier for each record in a table. Its main
purposes are to ensure data integrity and provide a means for establishing relationships between
tables in a relational database.
Here are the two primary rules applied to a primary key by default:
1. Uniqueness:
 A primary key must contain unique values within the table. This means that no two
records in the table can have the same value in the primary key field.
2. Non-Null (No Null Values):
 A primary key field cannot contain a null (empty) value. Every record in the table must
have a valid and non-null value in the primary key field.
Enforcing these two default rules ensures the integrity of the data within the table and helps establish
relationships between tables in a relational database.
The primary key is often used as a foreign key in other tables, creating a link between records in
different tables and enabling the establishment of meaningful relationships for data retrieval and
analysis.

Q3: A query is a special question you apply to the database to find specific data and get the
information you want. Can you help, Mark AND Alex recall the four steps to plan a query?

Q4: Define the following.

Primary Key:

A primary key is a unique identifier for each record in a database table. It serves as a means to
uniquely identify and distinguish each record within that table. The primary key must have two key
properties: uniqueness (each value must be unique within the table) and non-nullity (each value must
be non-null). The primary key is crucial for establishing relationships between tables in a relational
database, allowing for the linking of records across different tables.

Foreign Key:

A foreign key is a field in a database table that establishes a link between that table and another
table in the same database. The foreign key in one table is typically a reference to the primary key in
another table, creating a relationship between the two tables. Foreign keys play a vital role in
maintaining the consistency and integrity of relational databases by facilitating connections between
related data in different tables.

Q6: Ali has joined a new company as junior data analyst & he has been given two different tables
on MS Access in which different records are there. Ali has to link both the tables and make
separate forms of each employee. How will he link the tables and how will he create form of each
employee?
As a junior data analyst at his new company, Ali can establish a relationship between the two tables
in Microsoft Access to effectively link and integrate the data.
Once the tables are linked, Ali can proceed to create separate forms for each employee.
In the Form Design view, he adds the relevant tables, creating a main form and a subform.
The main form contains information specific to each employee, while the subform displays related
records from the second table.
Ali establishes a connection between the common field in the main form and the corresponding field
in the subform, ensuring that the forms are dynamically linked. This setup enables Ali to view and
interact with the data seamlessly, presenting a comprehensive view of each employee's information
across both tables.
Q7: Ahmed is making a database of students on MS Access. He mistakenly selects “Number” data
type in “Name” field. Explain from where he can change the data type and how?

To rectify the mistake in the data type selection for the "Name" field in MS Access, Ahmed can
navigate to the Table Design view. By right-clicking on the table containing the field in question and
selecting "Design View," he gains access to the structure of the table. Within the design view, he
locates the "Name" field and clicks on the corresponding Data Type field.If Ahmed is confident in the
correction, he confirms the changes. Finally, he closes the Table Design view, ensuring that the
"Name" field now has the correct data type, facilitating accurate storage and retrieval of name
information in the database.

Q8)

a. John is working on creating a database for a car rental company. He wants to ensure that
each vehicle in the database can be uniquely identified. How can he use a primary key to
achieve this?
 John can use a primary key in the car rental company database to ensure each vehicle is
uniquely identified by designating a specific field as the primary key.
 Typically, a field like "Vehicle ID" can be chosen as the primary key.
 The primary key guarantees that each value in the "Vehicle ID" field is unique within the
table, preventing any duplication.
 This unique identifier is crucial for accurately distinguishing and accessing individual
vehicles in the database.
b. Why is it important to have a primary key in a database table?
 Having a primary key in a database table is essential for several reasons.
 Firstly, it enforces the uniqueness of each record within the table. This means that no
two records can share the same primary key value, preventing data redundancy and
ensuring data accuracy.
 Secondly, a primary key provides a stable reference point for establishing relationships
with other tables in the database. It serves as a link between tables, facilitating efficient
data retrieval and analysis.
 Additionally, a primary key is crucial for maintaining data integrity, as it prevents
inconsistencies and errors in the database by uniquely identifying each record.
c. What role does a foreign key play in establishing relationships between tables in a
database?
A foreign key plays a pivotal role in establishing relationships between tables in a database. It is a
field in one table that refers to the primary key in another table. This reference creates a connection
between the two tables based on shared information. The foreign key ensures referential integrity by
enforcing that values in the foreign key field correspond to existing values in the primary key field of
the referenced table. By establishing these relationships, a foreign key enables the creation of
meaningful connections between related data in different tables, facilitating data retrieval, analysis,
and maintaining overall database integrity.
Q9)
a. Sarah is designing a database for a school, where students are associated with specific
courses. She wants to ensure that each student's enrolment is properly linked to the
corresponding course. How can she use foreign keys to achieve this?
 Sarah can use foreign keys in the school database to establish a proper link between
students and their associated courses.
 She can designate a field in the Students table, let's say "CourseID," as a foreign key.
 This field would reference the primary key in the Courses table, typically the "CourseID"
field. By doing this, Sarah ensures that each student's enrolment is connected to the
corresponding course through the foreign key relationship.

 b. What is the purpose of using forms in a database? How can forms simplify data entry for
users?
 Forms in a database serve as user interfaces that simplify data entry and interaction
with the database.
 The purpose of using forms is to provide a more user-friendly and intuitive way for
individuals to input, view, and edit data.
 Forms simplify data entry for users by presenting a structured and organized layout
that aligns with the natural workflow.
 Overall, the use of forms enhances the user experience by streamlining data input
processes and reducing the complexity associated with direct table interactions.

c. What are reports, and why are they useful in a database?

 Reports in a database are documents generated from the data stored in the database,
presenting information in a structured and formatted manner.
 These documents are designed to convey specific insights, summaries, or details derived from
the database records.
 Reports are typically used for analysis, decision-making, and communication of information to
stakeholders.
 They can include text, tables, charts, and graphs, offering a visually appealing representation
of data.
 In summary, reports in a database are powerful tools that transform raw data into meaningful
and actionable information.

Q10

a. Why is a database useful in organizing information?

 A database is highly useful in organizing information due to its structured and systematic
approach to data storage.
 It allows for efficient organization, storage, retrieval, and manipulation of vast amounts of
information.
 Databases use tables to structure data, ensuring a logical and consistent arrangement.
b. Explain the difference between a table, a record, and a field in a database.
 Table: A table is a collection of related data organized into rows and columns. It is the
fundamental structure in a relational database that holds information about a specific entity,
such as employees, customers, or products.
 Record: A record, also known as a row, is a single entry or instance of data within a table. It
represents a complete set of related information for a specific entity. For example, in a table of
employees, each record would correspond to details about a particular employee, including
their name, ID, and other attributes.
 Field: A field, also known as a column, is a specific piece of information within a record. It
represents a characteristic or attribute of the entity being tracked. In an employee table, fields
might include attributes such as "EmployeeID," "FirstName," "LastName," and "Department,"
each storing a specific type of information.

 Q11: a - Imagine you are a manager at a company, and you have a database table with
information about all the employees. The table has millions of records. Explain why it's
essential to create a query when you want to find specific information about an employee.
Provide an example of a situation where you might use a query to get the information you need.
 In managing a database table with millions of employee records, creating queries is
essential for efficient information retrieval.
 The sheer volume of data makes it impractical to manually sift through records to find
specific information about an employee.
 Queries provide a focused and targeted approach to extracting relevant data based on
specified criteria.
 For example, if I need to find all employees in the Sales department who achieved a certain
sales target in the last quarter, I can use a query to filter and extract only the necessary
information.
 Without queries, the process of extracting specific information from a vast dataset would
be time-consuming and error-prone.
Q11: b - Data Analyst's Perspective:
 As a data analyst managing an Employee table with millions or billions of records, creating
queries is imperative for several reasons.
 Firstly, queries enable the extraction of targeted information, allowing for analysis and
reporting on specific aspects of the data.
 Queries address this challenge by allowing for selective retrieval of data, fetching only the
relevant records and minimizing the strain on system resources.
