Skills you will learn
What are the course deliverables?
  • To introduce and develop the concept of relational database systems
  • To introduce database design principles within the framework of Microsoft Access, using tables, queries, forms, and reports
  • To introduce and develop Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and Structured Query Language (SQL) programming skills
  • Development of knowledge and understanding of relational database systems
  • Development of various skills, including SQL and VBA programming
More about this course
  • This practical course introduces relationships - why they are needed and how they are designed and created - and develops techniques required for relational design
  • These techniques include creating suitable tables for storing and linking data, and developing suitable user interfaces for entering and accessing data; the latter requires some Access programming
  • Access contains two programming languages - Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and Structured Query Language (SQL)
  • SQL's commands query data whilst VBA is used for macro and module programming; both enhance forms (used mainly for data input) and reports (for data output). Combining VBA and SQL is the most efficient way to write Access programs
  • During the course we will consider and develop a multi-table application, from design of tables and relationships to design of user interface forms for input; and forms, queries, and reports for data output
