Database theory for the written test

Connect tables, keys, relationships, queries, forms and reports as one data flow.

Start with table design

Data types, primary keys and indexes define how records are stored and found.

Separate relationship type from integrity

Draw one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many examples, then test how referential integrity affects edits.

Design the query result

Compare select, parameter, crosstab and action queries by purpose. Predict results from small sample tables.

Separate forms from reports

Forms focus on entry and navigation; reports focus on grouping, ordering and output.
