Different parts of a database
DATA HIERARCHY

• Field/column = represent a single data item

• Records = made up of a related set of fields describing one instance of an entity

• Dataset / Table = a set of related records - as many as instances (occurrence) in the set

Advantages of Databases

• Data sharing
•.
• .etc
Ms Access
• Developed by Microsoft

• One of the Office Component

• Easy to use

• MS-Access is a powerful relational database system. Table and query concepts are similar
for any RDB package. MS-Access also has an integrated application development
environment (IDE) for creation of end-user software that can be customized to fit most
personal/departmental needs for data collection and storage.
Primary Keys
• Primary Key is a variable/attribute that uniquely
identifies each row

• Can also be a combination of columns

• You may be tempted to use things like last name+first


name – DON’T
Foreign Key
• Foreign key is a primary key of another table.

• It shows that the two tables are related and how one
row in one table related to another table
Relationships between tables
• One to one – one row in one table goes to only one row in
another table
- Patient Hospital no

• One to Many – one row in one table (parent) goes to multiple


rows in another table (child)
- Patient (primary key) visits Many Departments (foreignkey)

• Many to Many – A row in table (parent) can have many


matching rows in another table (child), and vice versa.
- Patients and Departments
