    Why learn intermediate Microsoft Access skills?

    In this section, we discuss additional database principles of both MS Access and relational database technology in general. In addition, we see how these can be applied to create database applications for commercial use.

    One of the most important relational database concepts we will discuss is the difference between data organized in “flat files” and data that is “normalized.” Also important, we will explore the relationships between tables. Moving to Access specifically, we will learn about datasheets and how to view and manipulate data.
