Can Numbers be used as database for a collection?

Can Numbers be designed to make a database for a library of books? I have a large collection of old sheet music. The records would include keywords, comments, publication date, composer, illustrator, publisher, value, condition, purchase date -- and a scanned image of the cover artwork.

Hi Bonita,
I think you could use Numbers for your database. It doesn't work well as a container for graphics though. I would suggest that you keep your scanned artwork on a web service such as Dropbox so that you can record the URL in Numbers and keep the actual graphics storage on a server. The reason for this is that Numbers can't reference a file stored locally, and Numbers becomes sluggish if the graphics are stored within the document.
When you build a database in Numbers, each row is a "record", or separate item, and each column is an particular attribute; your keywords, comments, publication date, composer, illustrator, publisher, value, condition and purchase date.

  • When using Appleworks database for printing labels can I have columns of different widths?

    When using Appleworks database for printing labels can I have a column of different width?
    Case in point, the supplied avery labels in Appleworks does not have 8195. When I build one using custom design  I need a small column between column 2 and 3 to line up the info in columns 3 and 4. All the labels are 1.3/4 inch wide but I need to insert a column 1/4 wide to match up with the avery page....
    Any ideas???    
    Thanks......

    Well, the issue is that when you creat a custom width of 1.3/4 from the edge of the first label to the edge of label 2 all is good. The right and left margins were also set correct in AW. The Avery page, for some reason, has a small 1/4 inch column between the columns of label 2 and 3 therefore making the distance between the left edge of the label in column 2 and the right edge of the label in column 3 - a width of 2 inches and not 1.3/4.
    I guess Avery wanted the page to look even.
    I did this work around.....
    I created a custom lay out of 2 columns (not 4) with the correct width of 1.3/4 from label edge to label edge and the correct left side margin. After printing the first page I just turned the sheet 180 degress and printed the 2nd page to use all the labels on the Avery sheet. Since the upper and lower margin were the same it worked great....
    "Great minds think alike"...   thanks for your suggetion

  • I want to use Berkely database for my Dissertation

    Hello everyone,
    I am having some doubts regarding Berkely database. Actually, I am using this database for my project. The scenario of the project is, I have developed some business rules depending on the concept of Ripple Down Rules and represented the rules using Conceptual graphs. Now I want to store fire these business rules in to the Berkely database, so that my application can use these business rules from the Berkeley database.
    This is the context of my project. But, I am very new to this Berkely database. I have downloaded the Berkely database from the Oracle website and also installed it. The OS is am using is Windows XP SP2. Can anyone explain me how to store Conceptual graphs in a Berkely database.
    I am really a beginner to Berkely database. i don't even know what to do after installing the Berkely database. Please advise me about this.
    I would be very thankful to you.
    Cheers,
    Phani.

    Hi Phani,
    The simple answer is however you want. Berkeley DB doesn't put any constraints on how you store data in it. Its main purpose is to provide an efficient and scalable key/value storage and retrieval system, upon which you can build your own data storage system.
    More specifically, if you're representing graph data, the simplest way to do so is with the "edge list" paradigm. You could, for example, set up a pair of databases, one to store all your graph nodes (with associated metadata) and one for directed edges. I'm not sure what particular c structures you'll want to use for these, but I'd suggest using record numbers on both the nodes and the edges DBs, unless all your nodes have unique and meaningful names. I'd also allow duplicate records on your edges DB, and have a very simple record structure in it that simply maps from a source node id to a destination node it (the duplicates allow multiple edges from a given node.)
    If you have more specific constraints on your graph and algorithms you'd like to run on it, there are potentially more schemes you could use, such as the nested set representation for trees, and so on.
    Hope this helps,
    Daniel

  • Can we have a common database for TARGER and CATALOG in RMAN?

    Hi,
    Can we have a common database for TARGER and CATALOG in RMAN?

    You just won't use a CATALOG database.

  • HT204053 How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone.  Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

  • How can i use a database for practice in DOS

    i have some problems in the sqlplus.
    My OS is windows2000 server,when i intalled the Oracle 8i
    i type a command 'cmd' go to DOS.and type "sqlplus username/password@database"
    but always the system say that my database name can't be deal with.
    and i want to get a sample database for training SQL statements.How can i get it.
    is Oracle 8i have the sample database.

    It sounds like your database hasn't been started yet so do this:
    Try typing svrmgrl at the c:> -- if it doesn't work you might either have to go to the proper directory or type sqlplus to get an sql:> prompt (I don't remember it's been a while) but the rest I am pretty sure about---
    When you get the svrmgr prompt:
    use (i think) "connect internal"
    and "oracle or Oracle" as password
    once you do this
    it should say connected
    then use: svrmgr:>shutdown -- shutsdown DB
    then use: svrmgr:>startup -- starts DB
    hopefully then you can access your database through SQL Plus
