Each
row in the database is called a RECORD.
Each record is made up of a number of different fields -
one of which must be the key field.
So, looking at the screen-shot of my clothing database,
each item of clothing is on a different row. In other words,
each item of clothing has a seperate database record. The
fields the describe the clothes include a code field (this
is my key field); the title of each item; how much it costs;
and who makes it.
Now that I have data in my database I can get the software
to analyse it. |
