In this project, you will correct table design errors in a database used by the city manager to track the application and permit process for the citizens of Golden Grove. From the student files that accompany this textbook, open the file a04H_Permit_Applications, and then save the database in your Access Chapter 4 folder as Lastname_Firstname_4H_Permit_Applications Rename all tables by adding your Lastname Firstname to the beginning of each table name.

To complete the project, you must find and correct errors in table design. In addition to the errors that you find, you should know:

• TherearefivespellingmistakesintheApplication Types table. Make the necessary corrections.

• IntheApplicants table, the order in which the fields are presented is disorganized. Reorder the fields so they display information about the file and the application in an orderly fashion. Add fields to hold the city and state for each applicant. Position the fields in an orderly fashion within the list. The state field should always be represented in all capital letters and allow for only two characters. Do not populate the fields.

• IntheApplications table, many fields are not assigned accurate data types. Review the field names and descriptions to make appropriate changes. The Application Type should be chosen from the records in the Application Types table.

• Besurethatallapplicationsarereviewedbyanauthorizedreviewer;thosearecurrentlyMCA, EYC, and LNB.

Samuel Barrero, the fire chief for Golden Grove, California, realizes that the current database is not designed efficiently. Make a backup copy of the original file before you make any changes.

Mr. Barrero has noticed that the 4J Administration Staff Directory, 4J Aircraft Rescue Staff Directory, and 4J Fire Prevention Staff Directory all contain the same fields. Use the copy and append techniques to create a combined table called Lastname Firstname 4J Fire Department Directory

Mr. Barrero sees some data type errors in the directory that need correcting. Change data types to match the data, set field sizes, and apply input masks to assist with data entry. Utilize other tables in the database as the information source where possible.

If you are instructed to submit this result, create a paper or electronic printout of your table design.

Dario Soto, city manager of Golden Grove, California, is the governing official over the police department. He has reviewed the database that contains the information about the force and the individual officers. In this project, you will update the database to be more efficient. Save the modified database as Lastname_Firstname_4M_Police_Department Before you begin this project, back up the original database, using the default file name. The database contains one table of many fields. Your job is to separate the table into two smaller tables that can be related—personal and professional information joined by the Badge ID. The first and last name fields should only appear in the 4M Police Force Professional table.

Change the field sizes and set data types as appropriate. Create validation rules, and then select field properties that will decrease the number of data entry errors. Enter your own information as the first record in each table. All Badge IDs will follow the same format as yours: WP-321 You may choose a Regional Command from the following: West, Northeast, Southside, or City. Choices for Precinct are First, Third, Fifth, or Seventh. The rankmustbeCommander,Sergeant,orLieutenant;usetexttoguideuserstothecorrectoptions. You were hired the second Monday of last month. AutoFit the columns in both tables so the field names and data are visible. If you are instructed to submit this result, create a paper or electronic printout of the tables.

For Project 4N, you will need the following file:

New Blank Database

You will save your database as:

Lastname_Firstname_4N_Club_Directory

Create a database that stores information about a club or group with which you are involved. It might be through your school, community, or employer. Name the database Lastname_Firstname_4N_Club_Directory The database should include two related tables. The 4N Activities table will list the activities your organization has planned for the rest of the school year, and the 4N Membership table will be a directory of the members of the group.

The 4N Activities table should include the activity name, date, cost, location, and attached directions to each event. Be sure to assign a primary key, choose correct data types, and apply field properties for effective management of data. The 4N Membership table should include each member’s name, address, phone number, email, and an activity that they are planning. Be sure to assign a primary key, choose correct data types, and apply field properties for effective management of data. Every member should be planning one event. You should include at least five data types across the two tables. Enter at least six records in the 4N Activities table and twelve in the 4N Membership table. Establish a relationship between the two tables enforcing referential integrity. Create a backup copy of this database. If you are instructed to submit this result, create a paper or electronic printout of the tables and the relationship report.

You will be using this database in future chapters. Be sure to make corrections to your tables as necessary to prepare for the next chapter.
