Database

Database Output is normally information either displayed on-screen, or printed. A screen display is usually a Datasheet or a form and is the response to an interactive query or command. Forms can be printed, but for most purposes, printed reports are the best way to provide hard copy output. This is particularly so for information covering several records, especially when summary information is also required. Reports organize and group information in a table or query and provide a way to print the data in a database. Your first step in creating a database should be to establish what you want from it, i.e. the output that in our case is the report. You can use reports for a variety of purposes: some common examples are periodical sales summaries, stock lists, mailing lists and invoices. Currently in my office, the only report we run is from our Remedy Trouble Ticket database. This database logs and stores Help Desk calls and maintains a network history in regards to outages and system downtime. We can run queries that will list out item by item any information that we want.
