A database is a collection of processed information related to a particular topic or purpose
so that it can be easily accessed, managed, and updated.
DBMS is a software that enables the user to create a database and add, modify, and delete
data in it.
Access 2016 is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS).
Databases in Access are composed of six objects – tables, forms, queries, reports, macros,
and modules.
A Field stores a single value for an entity, while a Record contains data about one instance
of an entity.
A table can be created in Access using the Datasheet View or the Design View.
The Design view allows you to design the structure of a table, add fields to a table, specify
the data types, add descriptions, and set properties for the fields.
A Primary Key is a field or set of fields with values that are unique throughout a table and is
used to identify records in a table.
