CHAPTER ONE
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF MICROSOFT ACCESS?
Many people are not familiar with the app, and many that have heard it do not have no idea of what it means or how it is used. Microsoft was released in 1990 and with it came packages, some being phased out, and some still in use. Microsoft Access was first distributed in 1992, and it was created to sort and analyze data. It was well used and appreciated for long, but it faced a lot of competition with the creation of more software applications that perform almost the same functions. The successful use of this tool was however increased when it was made to be a part of Microsoft Office in 1995. So, it can be said that Microsoft Access has been riding on the success of Microsoft itself, which is indeed not a bad thing as the tool in itself performs so many functions that are needed in this modern era. The tool has since then become a member in the Microsoft Office evolutionary pipeline with a need to get examined thoroughly in synchronization with the development of some other Office components. This has taken Access to be at the state at which it is now.
In simple terms, Microsoft Access is being used to bring into creation a relational database system. You enter your data, and after this, Microsoft Access sorts it out, then analyzes them in the most relational way possible. You just supply the information and Access does the rest. Access is particularly useful when you have many records to make into a database. Using Microsoft Access to sort this will remove the possibility of errors and also make your work easier and much faster. This database will also be easy to work with and navigate through.
So, in all that has been said, Microsoft Access can be said to be a tool, developed by Microsoft and is used as a database management system (DBMS) that combines the relational Access Database Engine (ADE) with a graphical user interface and software-development tools, allowing users to create queries, tables, reports, and forms, and connect them with macros. It was launched on November 2022 and updated versions have been released subsequently, with the newest version being the Microsoft Access, 2022.
This chapter will discuss the various functions you can perform with using Microsoft Access, like, building big databases, creating databases with multiple tables, reaching out with SharePoint, and how to use Microsoft Access after installation of the software.
Building Big Databases with the Use of Microsoft Access
Many activities can be carried out by Access, but one that is very important is building big databases. These are records that run into hundreds and thousands, and management tools like Access will be important monitor them. Normally, creating a type of database with these kinds of records will lead to a lot of errors, but with Microsoft Access, there is an elimination of the probability of error due to the automatic creation by the software. This database can be brought into existence within a maximum size of 2 gigabytes, now imagine how huge your creation can run into. You can also work around the size limitation created with the use of this software by linking to tables in other Access databases or linking to tables in multiple database files.
