Conclusion
Congratulations! You have completed the webquest!
By now you've probably figured out that it's not the data that is actually dating in your database. The true purpose of the database is to match fields from one table to another. The match-making is possible because of those data relationships that you designed into your database. Recall that in my example, I created a relationship between the Education_Info table Educ_Code and the Client_Info table Degree_1 and Degree_2 fields.
The next step for the match-making database would be to create questions (queries) for the database such as: Who are the people in the state of Oregon whose first degree is a B.S.M.E.? This would involved the fields: Name, State_Code=OR, Degree_1=B.S.M.E. Another query could find people with Degree_1=B.S.M.E. and Hobby_1=Rollerblading. The possibilities are endless!
You have covered just the introductory database design topic. With a little more study you will learn about the different relationship types (one to one, one to many), field properties, queries, reports and other important information. You will also learn about how to collect data in a manner to avoid errors. For example, you would need to collect B.S.M.E. or BSME as a code to enter into your database. Otherwise, what could go wrong when you create your query?
Keep studying!
