Information and Communication Technology Literacy For Secondary– Data Base Module
Activity 1: Creating Table
Next you will be creating the fields that make up a database. This is similar to
creating a blank personnel form (on paper) that will be "filled-in" for each
employee (Name, Address, Phone Number, etc – are called fields in a
database). This "forms" are called records in a database. There will be a
record, or form, for each employee. All the forms, together, make up a Table
(database).
For example, students profiles table as shown below. (Figure 1)
The table above content four records. Each records have four fields which are
numbers field, students name, address and ic number. At the end of this
module, students will creating a database which is consist a table name
“students profile”.

Field 3
(address)
Field 1
(numbers)
record 2
Field 2
(name)
Field 4
(icno)
Figure 1

Information and Communication Technology Literacy For Secondary– Data Base Module
Steps Creating Table
1. Open MS Access 2003 software (Refer module 1, if needed).
2. Click File, click Open, find students profiles database file then click Open
button. (refer Figure 2)
3. Database window students profile: Database will appeared as shown below
(Figure 3) then click New button at database windows toolbar. The dialog box in
Figure 4 will appear.
12
Figure 2
Figure 3

4. Click Design View , then click OK to get Datasheet view as shown at Figure 5.
Figure 5
5. At Field Name column, type in numbers and at Data type column, change value
Text to Number. (refer Figure 6)
13
Click this button to view the list of
data type, then click number
Figure 4
Design
View
Figure 6

There are 10 types of data as stated in the table below;
Types Data Function
Text
You may type in any alphabetical/numerical data that you
desire-up to a maximum of 255 characters. As indicated,
this is a text field, so you can't do mathematical
calculations. Examples of Text data are: names,
addresses, stock numbers, room numbers, zip codes, etc
Memo
This field is for lots of text. You can have up to 32,000
characters.
Number
This field is for numbers where you want to add, subtract,
multiply, divide, average, and do numerical calculations.
This field can be a very large size, so when we get to
Field Properties, we'll talk about "sizing" this field so it
doesn't take up too much "space" in storage.
Date/Time
Dates and Times. You may format this later, as you may
desire.
Currency
Dollar ($). You may format this later, as you may desire.
For example Ringgit Malaysia (RM)
AutoNumber
This field is an "automatic" counter that assigns a number
each time you put data into a new field.
Yes/No This is a "True/False" or "Yes/No, 0/1” type of field.
OLE Object
This means "Object Link Embedding" which indicates you
can insert a graphic, picture, sound, etc. Pretty neat to put
a photograph in a personnel record or a picture of an
inventory item in the stock record (advanced stuff).
Hyperlink
A hyperlink is a pointer from one object to another. The
destination is frequently another Web page, but it can also
be a picture, an e-mail address, a file (such as a
multimedia file or Microsoft Office document), or a
program. The hyperlink itself can be displayed as text or
as a picture.
Lookup Wizard
This wizard creates a lookup column, which displays a list
of values you can choose from.

7. Insert data in the Field Name, Data Types for each fields as displays (Figure
7). Students can move to the next column by press “Tab key”.
Note: Place the cursor at the address inside the Field Name, then change Field
Size value from 50 to 100.
8. Click numbers at field name column, click at Edit menu bar, then click
Primary Key or icon Primary Key . Shown at figure 8.
15
Figure 7
PRIMARY KEY means the value in the primary key fields is
need to uniquely identify each record; that’s no record can
have the same value in this field.
