Dear Class:
Today we will finish up the DataBase handout we started last class. It is due today. Please print out the final sheets, staple them together, and hand them in. I will project up on the screen what I want and how I want it for your parameters. Remember, recheck your data to make sure you are accurate in what you entered.
Otherwise, after the first half of the class, we will be opening up C++ and working on that. There will be a little bit of vocabulary involved but not too much. If you work on it at home, you can download at bloodshed.net. Hopefully, we will do the first bit of a program called "Hello World".
Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Paintbrush
Publish it to WORD and EXCEL
What can you do with it???
I want your data exported into Excel. I want to do more with it. The following is a new category for Excel that I want put in:
Expenses per day:
Trent 2.43
Hayden 3.40
Loren 2.10
Helena 1.25
Michael 1.75
Kevin Guan 2.24
Ngai 3.10
Kevin McGill 2.00
Ana 1.55
Paul 2.02
Naragan 3.10
Trung 2.25
Nahu 1.11
Brent 2.00
Ryan 3.22
Gabriel 2.22
Felix 1.25
Richard 2.25
Raymond 2.10
Kevin Tomlin 1.11
Josue 2.00
Jason 2.24
Please put in the costs. Total will be "=cell*174" (a year of school will be 174 days). Make sure you copy the formula down by putting your pointer on the "fill handle" (the small black square on the bottom right corner of the cell) and dragging the formula down.
Sort the First names from A-Z
Create a graph. The Graph will reflect the first names and the total spent for year at David Douglas. This will be done by selecting the first name column and then holding down the control key and then selecting the "Total Yearly Expenses". Select two other columns of your choosing. Choose the bar graph for this. Save but do not print. I will look at them next time I am in class.
Print a copy—from WORD?? EXCEL?? OR ACCESS???
Must have enhancements
Correct Spelling—watch caps
Centered on Page
Name on bottom left/period on bottom right
We will do in class.
Open DATABASE NOTES
wildcards—* ?
comparison operators—like < > +
compound criteria—using two sets of criteria
Go back to your original database.
QUICK SORT
Filtering—a temporary sort
Filter by selection
Highlight something and click on filter by selection icon
Can only select one criteria
Run filter
Remove filter
Filter by form
Click on Filter by form and enter a criteria
Can select more than one criteria
Run filter
Remove filter
This will be the icon that looks like a "funnel" which I told you about.
Permanent Sort
Creating a Query—extracting specific information
How do you do a query? Go to youtube for a tutorial (Watch as a class)
Using design view
Add a table and select fields
Options:
Sort
Show
Criteria
Or—more than one criteria
When using check boxes yes/no
Criteria:
“smith” matching Smith
“Smith” or Larson” matching both
Not “Smith” everything but Smith
S* everything that begins with S
*s everything that ends with s [a –d]* begins with a through d, ends with anything
between 10 and 15 shows 10 through 15
“Johns?n” shows Johnson and Johnsen
Make sure you understand the query part that adds, limits, and shows data.
We will finish this. I have a handout that we will finish that will end our Database and a quiz on the vocabulary of Database on Tuesday.

Highlight a field and use binocular icon to look in, match, search
Navigation bar at bottom to move between records
A "pencil" is displayed on the left when editing a record

Choose a style
Give it a name—click finish
Does everything fit

Dear Class:
Database
Day One:
What is a database?
Why use a database—information about customers, information about inventories, any type of information a business would need. You can design, manipulate, sort, and print.
Who has a database—schools, libraries, government, stores, banks, business on inventory and employees
Internet Search:
Who won the Heisman trophy 2 years in a row?? (1974 1975 Archie Griffen
Who Was David Douglas named after?? (David Douglas, a botanist)
Who are some notable alumni from David Douglas??
Record?
Field?
Requirements: contain a unique name, describe the field, <= 64 characters, cannot begin with a space, can’t use . , ! [ ]
Fields have data types—text, number, currency, date/time, yes/no, OLE Object (picture), hyperlink (address), lookup wizard (giving options)
Field size—usually default works but you can assign different sizes
Who has a long name that always gets cut off???
Icebreaker—creating a database about our class
What do we want to find out about each other—pick 10 fields
First Name
Last Name
Age
Favorite Food
Favorite Color
Gender
Eye Color
Birth Month
Job
Database Exp
Programming Exp
Grade
Hobbies
Siblings
Middle School
Sports
Write them on a piece of paper
Pair up to find out information about someone in the class—record it on paper
Let’s put our class in a database. . .
Create a database
Different programs: MS ACCESS, Oracle, Dbase
We use ACCESS
Determine fields and data types
Enter your own data on the first line and SAVE it.
Pass the papers around the room and have each of you enter all the informtion on your own computer.
Open WORD document and create a “Database Notes” file
Vocabulary: database, field, record, data types
