Access verses excel
Access has many benefits as compared to excel. It has multiple related models for storage of information in one place and refers to it in other locations; a table is easily referenced and once changes have been made they reflect automatically. Adding new records is easier hence the possibility of giving accurate reports. Access also has data entry forms for entering records consistently.
The terms field, record, table, and relational database are closely linked in database management. Data units are hierarchically structured for analysis. Fields contain attributes of an entity, a record consists of attributes describing a quality of an object. The table contains several attributes organized in rows and columns. The relational database comprises tables that are easy to understand and modify.
The primary key is important in implementing the relationship between two tables. It serves as a common link between tables. For instance, identifying students in a table using their IDs.
