1 DATABASES COLLECTION OF INFORMATION FIELDS & CALCULATED FIELD DATA TYPES LINKED TABLES & FOREIGN KEY

2 COLLECTION OF INFORMATION Physical Database -Searching can be slow -Editing is difficult Electronic Database + Searching is very fast + Editing is very easy

3 ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES Physical Database -Searching can be slow -Editing is difficult Electronic Database + Searching is very fast + Editing is very easy

4 DATA TYPES Fields can have different data in them. Eg 1. A name field contains the data type Text Eg 2. A date of birth field contains the data type date/time Eg 3. a total field contains a calculated field.

5 CALCULATED FIELD Pupil NameTest 1Test 2Total Marks Simon Phoenix101121 Hans Gruber151732 For Example: Total Marks = Test 1 + Test 2

6 LINKED TABLES & FOREIGN KEY When the tables of data are linked together using foreign keys.
