Today i have completed my database and i will be putting it up onto the student website by the end of the week. I had some problesm while i was doing the database which was resolved by going on the IST mcauley website and using the word documents provided to give me some extra information on how to rdo some extra step which i wasn't sure about. I also asked my teacher Mr cavill for some assistance. I am gald i have completed the task and am really pleased with the outcome. Overall thsi assessment has been really challengeing compared to the tasks from last year and i enjoyed using my own songs to create my own database!

Database Assessment
In todays lesson i will be starting to create my database using Microsoft access. This software allows me to create and desogn my own database . My database theme will be music and is based on another type of dadtbase called itunes. I will be using songs by Trey Songz to vreate this database and will have 1-10 songs from the same artist. It will contain Artist, song sample, album, album cover, cost, duration and genre. I am going to be doing this for the next few lessons as well as some theory work from the student net website.
