What is a Database?
A database is a collection of information organized and presented to serve a specific purpose. Database programs are created using a program like Microsoft Access XP.
A Microsoft Access database is made up of several components including:
- Tables
- Forms
- Queries
- Reports
These components are called database objects. One or more of these objects are formed when a database is created. These components are stored in a single database file.
