How to use access database

is it possible to use access database in visual basic 2012

Hello,
There are two main methods for working with MS-Access databases in Visual Studio with VB.NET. One method you go through several steps which the IDE data wizard creates strong typed classes and assist with binding fields in the database table to controls
such as a DataGridView, ListBox, TextBoxes etc. The second method you actually write all the code which can go in two different directions.
Which one to pick is dependent on your expertise in general with VB.NET. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
The following shows the beginnings of working with data wizards in the IDE while
this page is an index for the link just provided with a mixture of examples.
If open to suggestion and dependent on your needs please consider looking at using SQL-Server since there is an Express version of SQL-Server installed with Visual Studio. SQL-Server is overall and better choice but does not mean it's best for you at this
time but worth considering.

  • Why and how we use Logical Database?

    Can anybody explain with example why and how we use logical database?
    Regards,
    Rajan

    Hello,
    SAP comes loaded with all the extras. Among the extras that are most helpful to IT managers are all the access routines needed to pull any business object that managers can think of out of SAP databases. However, SAP has not thought of everything where your particular applications are concerned. SAP organizes its standard database tables to service business units based on conventional business applications. Itu2019s likely your business requires something new, perhaps even something exotic. In that case, you will need to create a new database, using information from different places. Basically, you need a logical database. You need to create a virtual business data object repository consisting of a new kind of record or table that suits your purposes. In addition, the repository should be composed of information that is actually stored in a number of different locations, none of them necessarily logically associated with one another. Letu2019s take a closer look at creating logical databases.
    A case for a logical database
    Suppose my company manufactures widgets of the most obscure variety, and they are components of other widgets. I sell my widgets as raw material for the more sophisticated widgets built by others, but in some cases I actually partner with other manufacturers in creating yet another class of widget. Now, in my world, I consequently have customers who are also partners. I sell to them and I partner with them in manufacturing and distribution. Also, I need an application that uses both of these dual-use relationships.
    Essentially, I have a customer database and a partner database. Neither contains records that are structured to contain the identifying particulars of the other. Thus, I need a hybrid database that gives me tables detailing these hybrid relationships. What can I do? I can go the long way around and write a new database, pulling information from both and creating new objects with a customized program that I write by hand. However, this process is cumbersome and contains maintenance issues. On the other hand, I can use SAPu2019s logical database facility, create my logical database in a couple of minutes, and have no maintenance issues at all.
    Logical database structures
    There are three defining entities in an SAP logical database. You must be clear on all three in order to create and use one.
    u2022     Table structure: Your logical database includes data from specified tables in SAP. There is a hierarchy among these tables defined by their foreign keys (all known to SAP), and you are going to define a customized relationship between select tables. This structure is unique and must be defined and saved.
    u2022     Data selection: You may not want or need every item in the referenced tables that contributes to your customized database. There is a selection screen that permits you to pick and choose.
    u2022     Database access programming: Once youu2019ve defined your logical database, SAP will generate the access subroutines needed to pull the data in the way you want it pulled.
    Creating your own logical database
    ABAP/4 (Advanced Business Application Programming language, version 4) is the language created by SAP for implementation and customization of its R/3 system. ABAP/4 comes loaded with many predefined logical databases that can construct and table just about any conventional business objects you might need in any canned SAP application. However, you can also create your own logical databases to construct any custom objects you care to define, as your application requires in ABAP/4. Hereu2019s a step-by-step guide:
    1.     Call up transaction SLDB (or transaction SE36). The path you want is Tools | ABAP Workbench | Development | Programming Environment | Logical Databases. This screen is called Logical Database Builder.
    2.     Enter an appropriate name in the logical database name field. You have three options on this screen: Create, Display, and Change. Choose Create.
    3.     Youu2019ll be prompted for a short text description of your new logical database. Enter one. Youu2019ll then be prompted to specify a development class.
    4.     Now comes the fun part! You must specify a root node, or a parent table, as the basis of your logical database structure. You can now place subsequent tables under the root table as needed to assemble the data object you want. You can access this tree from this point forward, to add additional tables, by selecting that root node and following the path Edit | Node | Create. Once youu2019ve saved the structure you define in this step, the system will generate the programming necessary to access your logical database. The best part is you donu2019t have to write a single line of code.

    You cannot attach the LDB to the main program of the function group.

  • How to use temporary database?

    hi
    i am using timesten as cachedb for oracle database。i have some problem about how to use temporary database?
    1) what's the difference between temporary and non-temporary database,if i use awt cache group,then timesten will automatically replicate all change to oracle database , even if timesten crashed,i can set up another timesten quickly,no data loss?
    2)since all data is in oracle database,does timesten‘s transaction log and checkpoint file useful ? does timesten need backup ?

    Temporary databases have very limited usefullness; you can't use them with replication or caching for example. They are a very 'niche' use case; I'd recommend that you avoid them for mainstream use.
    TimesTen checkpoiint and transaction log files are always required (except for Temporary database which do not have checkpoint files but do have log files).

  • Mac's ability to use Access database

    I am considering buying an apple mac after many years using a PC. I currently use Access database and will need to continue to review access databases and support colleagues in offices where PC is the norm. Am I on a Mac able to view and use Microsoft Access. On the Mac site I can only find reference to Word, Exell and Powerpoint being compatible. Thanks for any help offered.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Microsoft does not make a Mac version of Access. You could use Boot Camp to create a Windows partition & install Windows & a PC version of Office. This would require restarting in Windows whenever you want to use Windows. Or use Parallels or VMWare Fusion to create a virtual PC & again install Windows & PC Office. I prefer using Crossover Mac which does not involve installing Windows. I have Office 2007 installed in Crossover to run Publisher when someone sends me a Publisher file. Unlike Boot Camp, Parallels or VMWare Fusion, Crossover doesn't support all Windows programs, but it definitely supports Office.
