Database: Create, Tables and Relation.

Here are five short videos showing you how to create a new Access database, two tables, and then relate them. The final video gives a quick demo of a query taking information from the two related tables. Each video will open in a new window, and will start automatically, so DON'T click on them or else you'll get loads of youtube windows up... be patient ...


  1. Create new database file

  2. Create a table - with a primary key

  3. Create a second table, with a reference for the others primary key

  4. Relate the two tables

  5. Introduce a method of displaying data from two related tables

Embedding Real Video into a web page:

Hi

Just some technical stuff today - how to embed Real Video into a web page:

Here is what I wanted to achieve - (OK the left hand column is too narrow - but hey, it's a start ...), and the code is listed underneath:

Self Harm - Conflict (BBC / Sarah Curtis 2005)


"Sarah Curtis from Southampton has been self harming since she was 11 years old. It's a personal battle between wanting to stop and getting relief through self harming. Sarah hopes her film will help others understand how self harm affects people's lives. This is her story... " (BBC 2005)


Now click the image on the right to watch a short video from Sarah Curtis ... (You will need RealPlayer installed to watch this - look for the free version):

































Launch in external player




Here's the code:
