:Skills Development in Visio;
Creation of MS Access Database
C. Lab
Overview–Scenario / Summary:
TCOs:
1. Given a business situation in which managers require
information from a database, determine, analyze, and classify that information
so that reports can be designed to meet the requirements.
2. Given a situation containing entities, business rules, and data
requirements, create the conceptual model of the database using a database
modeling tool.
3. Given an existing relational database schema, evaluate and
alter the database design for efficiency.
4. Given an existing database structure demonstrating efficiency
and integrity, design the physical tables.
Scenario:
You have been asked to create a conceptual database model using MS
Visio Database Model Diagram Template. The purpose of this lab is to have you
gain experience with the various modeling tools needed to create a conceptual
model (entity relationship diagram) of a database. You will then modify the
model for implementation as a MS Access database. You will create and modify
one conceptual model.
You will then create a MS Access database based on the model
developed in Visio, creating the necessary tables and relationships.
Upon completing this lab, you will be able to
1. relying on detailed instructions, add two entities to the
existing conceptual model (ERD), including attribute data types and required
field lengths;
2. create a new MS Access database file;
3. using the model from Parts A and B of the lab, and relying on
detailed instructions; create the first two tables in the database;
4. use the experience gained in creating the first two tables to
add the remaining tables;
5. using the model from Parts A and B of the lab, and relying on detailed
instructions; create the relationship between the first two tables in the
database; and
6. use the experience gained in creating the first relationship to
create the remaining relationships between the tables.
