Access 2007 Database Tutorial 1.2 – Tables and Relationships

This video shows the creation of a very simple Access database with a one to many relationship between authors and books.  The next video will show how this database falls short when you have multiple authors for the same book and how a many to many relationship can be simulated to solve this shortcoming.

The previous video in this series, not  yet created, will discuss why anyone would want to use Access over a program like Excel and talk about why you would use a  database, particularly a relational database.

Created using CamStudio 2.5b1, SoundBooth CS4, Premiere CS4, and After Effects CS4. Recorded at 1024x768, scaled to 640x480. Playing a little bit more with After Effects, using keyframes and easing to zoom in on the action.

  1. Creating a Database
  2. Creating a Table
  3. Primary Keys
  4. Defining Fields
  5. Entering Data
  6. Foreign Keys
  7. Creating a One to Many Relationship
