In this module we will be introduced to a databases, the database system, and all of the objects associated with it. For the following modules we will be using Microsoft Access, © Microsoft, to explore a real world database system. Both theoretical knowledge as well as the hands on database management projects will be explored. These will prepare the student to not only utilize the Microsoft Access database software, but will also to be able to translate this knowledge to other database design software commonly used in industry.

In this module we will be introduced to creating, adding, and querying database objects. We will be using Microsoft Access, © Microsoft Simple Query Wizard and Design View. Both of these tools will allow students to manipulate the objects and their contents for summarization and knowledge generation. Similar to the previous chapter, both theoretical knowledge, as well as the hands on database management projects, will be explored. These will prepare the student to not only utilize these tools in the Microsoft Access database software, but will also to be able to translate this knowledge to other database design software commonly used in industry.

To achieve the learning objectives listed above, you will need to complete the following instructional materials and assessment:
In this module first, we will be exploring information and why its important. We will cover data as input and output to answer questions requested by the user. Second, we will be introduced to designing and creating forms for a user to input information into the database. This allows dynamic changes to be applied to the database in real time. Finally, we will design and implement a report that can be dynamically generated at need to address questions asked by the user. (I.e. expense reports, employee time reports, etc.) Similar to the previous chapter, both theoretical knowledge, as well as the hands on database management projects, will be explored. These will prepare the student to not only utilize these tools in the Microsoft Access database software, but will also to be able to translate this knowledge to other database design software commonly used in industry.
