These are programs used to store,
sort search and retrieve information as easily as possible.
A telephone directory is an example of a
database, because a database is simply a collection of information.
Other examples of databases are customer
information and student information.
A database is made up of records
and fields; records are in rows and fields in columns. Each record may contain more than one
field. Examples of Database Management
programs are:
- Microsoft Access,
- FoxPro,
- FoxBASE,
- Dbase and
- Paradox.
With a database management
program you can easily enter and sort data, retrieve information through
queries and present the information in the form of reports, labels and
tables.
You can search for the
information using condition statements, and the selected information can be
printed.
