Chapter 5  Lesson 5:  Defining Complex View Tables 

Defining Complex View Tables 

Lesson 5 covers complex view table definition.  It presents the
"advanced" view table features not taught in Lesson 2.

Lesson Plan: 

In Lesson 5, you will:

   A.  Add another database.

   B.  Add IMAGE tables containing only selected items.

   C.  Add a view table that joins data from two IMAGE tables and defines
       part of an item as a new item.

   D.  Add a view table that joins data from two view tables, calculates
       a new item, substitutes full words for "coded" data, and selects
       and sorts records.

   E.  Add a view table that joins three tables (two IMAGE tables and one
       view table) into one view table.

   F.  Add a view table that resolves a compound data item into
       individual items and calculates averages.

   G.  Configure table security.

Estimated time:
