The Creation of a Relational Database Using Microsoft Access

I will be using Microsoft access to create a relational data base.

This will let me to make tables that contain data on a specific topic.

I will make a relational database my creating multiple tables and

linking them together through if they both a particular fields By

doing this it will allow my end user to find certain data from

different tables., for example they could type in the CD name which

would be in one table and it would then tell them the songs on that

album which would be stored on another table.

Now that I know what I'm using to create my database I need to know

where and how I'll get my information.

I will need the information that my end users wants to put on to their

database such as: Artist name, album name, number of songs, Album

rating, artist rating and the length of each CD. I will collect this

data from CD's that my end user wants me to add to the database. I

will do this by keying in the necessary information I need from each

CD since I have no other means of inputting the data.

I will sort all of my information in alphabetical order by artist name

because I believe this will make it the easiest way of using the

database and it will help lower the amount of errors. Other ways I can

sort my data is ascending or descending by the number of songs or by

the length of the album but this would cause great confusion because

it would mean that you would need to know the time of the album (or

number of songs) to find the particular album or artist you are

looking for.
