This class will benefit the computer novice as well as the more advanced microcomputer user who wants to gain facility in working with database management systems.
Students begin by creating a database.
Simple tables are designed and added to this database and are then modified by adding, changing and deleting records. Next, they will learn to sort a table as well as search a table. This will involve making simple and complex queries of a database in order to retrieve information about the data in tables and forming relationships between tables. Then students will create their own customized forms and reports. This will involve learning to group data in a report as well as making calculations on groups and determining overall totals.
