Primary Keys and
Relationships
What is a Normalized
database? Normalizing a database defines the Table design
and how the Tables are related.
Why Does
This Matter? Normalizing a database
minimizes duplicate data and protects the data integrity. The Tables
are small and functional. There should be a separate Table for each
collection.
Plan: We will create two new
Tables that will be the Record Sources for the Receipt Form and
Receipt Subform. The Receipt Subform will inherit three Key Fields
from the Receipt Form. So the Table for the Receipt Subform,
tblMovieRented, has to be designed with that in mind
What Are
the Steps? Create a Table for the Receipt
Form and another Table for the Receipt Subform. These Tables will be joined
by a matching Key: ReceiptID.
