anatomy of a database

-Tables: contain all of the data; serve as the foundation of the database; contains records located in rows -Queries: used to ask questions of one or more related tables or other queries; these are the most powerful tools in a database, it is only limited by the abilities of the creator -Forms: used to add, edit, and view data from a table or a query -Reports: used to display data from a form or query; can present info from more than one table or query

secondary data use
