After much trial and error, I was finally able to complete the database project. Since I have never worked with Microsoft Access before, I really had no idea what I was doing. It took me awhile to figure certain things out, but once I did, I was able to understand them. I learned a lot about how databases work, and the importance of them. I also learned how to perform several different key functions within Access, such as creating a query, a form, and a report. Since I am now familiar with the basic principles of Access, I think I will be able to use it in the future.
I think one thing that was not required in our project but that would enhance the functionality of this database would be to create relationships within the database. A relationship is an association between common fields in two tables. This association links information in one table to information in the related table. You can also separate sensitive information, perhaps for security purposes, from the main table, so that others cannot view it. In addition, creating a relationship to link all your information together helps to save space, and it is easier to edit and manage. These are just some of the advantages of having relationships within your database.
