Text and Memo data types

In earlier versions of Access, we used the Memo data type to store

large amounts of text, and the Text data type to store shorter strings
(up to 255 characters). In Access 2013, these two data types have been
renamed “Long Text” and “Short Text” respectively, and they have
different properties and size limits depending on whether you’re using
a desktop database or an Access App.
DBMS
A database management system (DBMS) is system software for
creating and managing databases. TheDBMS provides users and
programmers with a systematic way to create, retrieve, update
and manage data.
Alphanumeric Data
An alphanumeric data entry test is one that tests both letters and numbers
typed.
Foreign Key
A foreign key is a way to enforce referential integrity within
your SQL Server database. A foreign key means that values in one table
must also appear in another table. The referenced table is called the parent
table while the table with the foreign key is called the child table.
File
You can think of a database as an electronic filing system. Traditional
databases are organized by fields, records, and files. A field is a single
piece of information; a record is one complete set of fields; and a file is a
collection of records.
Number Data Types
Data types

Think of a field's data type as a set of qualities that applies to all the values
contained in the field and that determines what kind of data those values
can be. For example, values that are stored in a Text field can contain only
 letters, numbers, and a limited set of punctuation characters. In addition, a
Text field can contain a maximum of 255 characters.

There are ten different data types in Access:

 Attachment Files, such as digital photos. Multiple files can be attached per
record. This data type is not available in earlier versions of Access.
 AutoNumber Numbers that are automatically generated for each record.
 Currency Monetary values.
 Date/Time Dates and times.
 Hyperlink Hyperlinks, such as e-mail addresses.
 Memo Long blocks of text and text that use text formatting. A typical use
of a Memo field would be a detailed product description.
 Number Numeric values, such as distances. Note that there is a separate
data type for currency.
 OLE Object OLE objects, such as Word documents./Pictures etc.
 Text Short, alphanumeric values, such as a last name or a street address.
 Yes/No Boolean values.

Attributes
In general, an attribute is a characteristic. In a database management
system (DBMS), an attribute refers to a database component, such a
table. It also may refer to a database field. Attributes describe the
instances in the row of a database.

Report
A database report is the formatted result of database queries and contains
useful data for decision-making and analysis. Most good business
applications contain a built-in reporting tool; this is simply a front-end
interface that calls or runs back-enddatabase queries that are formatted for
easy application usage.
Table
In relational databases and flat file databases, a table is a set of data
elements (values) using a model of vertical columns (identifiable by name)
and horizontal rows, the cell being the unit where a row and column
intersect. A table has a specified number of columns, but can have any
number of rows.

Form
A form is a database object that you can use to create a user interface for
adatabase application. A "bound" form is one that is directly connected to a
data source such as a table or query, and can be used to enter, edit, or
display data from that data source.
