Relational DB

How do I creat a Relational DB?

RE: Relational DB

Hi Pajam

Using access to create a relational DB can be a complex series of steps. Essentially you need to create a minimum of two tables and then link them together by a common field using a relationship.

As an example, you might have a suppliers table and a products table. Each supplier provides many products. So the products table would have a suppliers field that would link the product with the supplier.

In principal, that is how it works.

Access tip:

Splittng a database

Split your database into two (at least).

Keep all of your code, forms, reports, etc. in one 'code' database and all of your tables in another 'data' database which is then linked to the 'code' database.

This makes modifications, updates and back-ups that much easier and allows you to work on a new version of your 'code' database without affecting existing users. It also makes it easier should you wish to convert a single user databases into a multi-user networked version.
