Dear Class:
Last project for this part of the class or...Database. The following document will be easier just because it won't be "linked". I will also want to see a footer on this document and will talk about that.
Final Project
Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:
Due to the "tainted" nature of the data we used before, we are going to create a new one using other preexisting data on real estate.
You will open the directions: Directions
The first Table information you will need will be created in Table 1: Homes for Sale
The second Table you will put together will be the Listing Criteria.
Use the date provided to create the two new tables.
You can go ahead and look at the queries that is the second part of the instructions but given it is a Wednesday, you will probably not get to that point.
Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:
Open WORD document and create a “Database Notes” file
Vocabulary: database, field, record, data types, objects, table, form, report, querie.
Sites that can help: Access 2003 tutorial
Access 2003
Open Class database in datasheet view—what can we do with it??
Basic—can’t change the header/footer, you can delete it in setup, only have one font, one size for rows
Sizing columns—double clicking between field names or sliding
Sorting—Highlight entire field and use AZ↓ or ZA↓
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
A "triangle" is displayed on the left when selecting a record
Add or delete a record
Add a new field in design view—School
Type in David Douglas High School one time and use Control ‘ to repeat in every cell
Work on some OJBECTS:
Create a FORM using wizard
Choose all the fields
Choose a layout—columnar is good for now
Choose a style
Give it a name—click finish
Does everything fit
View/Design View to edit
Edit Field Box and Detail Box
Change font and size
Rearrange to make sure it fits
Shift click to highlight more than one box
Use the paint brush for editing
View Form View to check it out
Print Preview—use the icons to view one, two, multiple pages
Use navigation to get to new record and add the teacher
Was it easier to input data in a form or table object???
Create a Report—create a report using wizard—choose the class table
Pick four fields
Pick a grouping—group by age
Pick a sort—sort by last name
Pick a layout
Pick a style
Give it a name
Edit the report in design view
Header—contains field name
Detail—actual information
Use paint brush
Numbers right align/words left align
Select and size or edit—click to select, use hand to move
Shift Click header and detail to move both
Make sure everything fits and is centered
Same alignment icons as in WORD
Change footer
Delete the entire text box on right—page x of x
Change =now() (function for date and time) to =”your name—period x” (string)
Open Database Notes and update vocabulary if needed
ASSIGNMENT:
Create a report using what you just learned—choose at least 5 fields
SAVE, PRINT and turn in
Group by age?? By Eye color?

Dear Class:
Please open up your "database" we worked on last time and then open up this blog so that you know what we will be doing today.
Please open up the Database notes we did and we will be adding to them the definition of: objects, table, form, and report.
Then, open up the "Class database" file we did last time. This will reflect the following:
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
You were to type them in a shared google doc and then plug your information on the database itself.
You will be "Correcting" that raw data into the "Class Database" that we will be using. In programming, you cannot have data that is "off" or "inconsistent" or a program will not work (although there are certain internal checks).
What is a database?
Watch the tutorial for database (17 minutes)
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??
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???
We went to the spreadsheet that is shared an editable and entered in the following data after one of the students puts in the Record type.
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.
Open WORD document and create a “Database Notes” file

Dear class:
We are making a slight detour today. Loren has very graciously agreed to present Unity to you. We will start from scratch and try to get a program at least started.
Sincerely,
