Create A Database Structure
Muhtasari
Behind almost every app you use sits a database: the contacts on a phone, the stock in a shop, the members of a club. A database only works well if its structure is right from the start. Choose the wrong field type and a price loses its pennies; forget a key and two people with the same name become impossible to tell apart. Getting the structure right is the quiet skill that makes everything else, the searches, the calculations and the reports, possible later.
In this lesson you will learn how data is organised into fields and records, the difference between a flat file and a relational database, and how to pick the correct data type for every field. You will meet primary and foreign keys and see how they link two tables together, and you will design a clear data entry form. These are the foundations of the practical database papers, so master them and the rest of the Databases unit falls into place.
