Exp19_Access_Ch02_Capstone - International Foodies 1.0

Project Description:
International Foodies is an importer of exotic foods from all over the world. You landed a summer internship with the company and discovered that their product lists and the suppliers they buy from are stored in Excel workbooks. You offer to help by using your newly gained knowledge of Access to create a relational database for them. You will begin by importing the workbooks from Excel into a new Access database. Your manager mentions that she would also like a table that specifies food categories so that you can relate the products you sell to specific categories in the database. You will create a table from scratch to track categories, create relationships between the tables, and create some baseline queries.

Steps to Perform:
Step Instructions Points Possible
1 Start Access. Open the downloaded Access file named Exp19_Access_Ch2_Cap_Foodies. Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the filename. Save the file to the location where you are storing your files. 0
2 You will examine the data in the downloaded Excel worksheets to determine which fields will become the primary keys in each table and which fields will become the foreign keys so that you can join them in the database.

Open the Suppliers.xlsx Excel workbook, examine the data, and close the workbook. Open the Products.xlsx Excel workbook, examine the data, and close the workbook.

You will import two Excel workbooks that contain supplier and product information into the database.

Click the External Data tab, click New Data Source, point to From File in the Import & Link group, and then select Excel. Navigate to and select the Suppliers.xlsx workbook to be imported as a new table in the current database. Select First Row Contains Column Headings. Set the SupplierID field Indexed option to Yes (No Duplicates). Select SupplierID as the primary key when prompted and accept the table name Suppliers. Do not save the import steps. 10
3 Import the Products.xlsx workbook, set the ProductID Indexed option to Yes (No Duplicates), and select ProductID as the primary key. Accept the table name Products. 10
4 Change the Field Size of the QuantityPerUnit field to 25 in Design view of the Products table. Set the Field Size of ProductID and CategoryID to Long Integer. Save the changes and open the table in Datasheet view. Open the Suppliers table in Datasheet view to examine the data. Close the tables. 4
5 You will create a new table that will enable International Foodies to associate each product with a food category in the database.

Create a new table in Design view. Add the following fields in Design view and set the properties as specified:

Add the primary key field as CategoryID with the Number Data Type and Number assigned to a new category. (type the period) as the Description. Set the Caption property to Category ID.

Save the table as Categories.
6
6
Add CategoryName with the Short Text Data Type and Name of food category. (type the period) as the Description. Change the field size to 15. Set the Caption property to Category Name and the Required property to Yes. 6
7 Add CategoryDescription with the Long Text Data Type. Set the Caption property to Category Description. Switch to Datasheet view and save the table when prompted. You will enter Category data into the table in the next step. 4
8
You will add 8 records to the Categories table so that you have some sample data to test in the database.

Add the following records to the Categories table:

Category ID Category Name Category Description
1 BEVERAGES SOFT DRINKS, COFFEES, TEAS
2 CONDIMENTS SAUCES, RELISHES, SEASONINGS
3 CONFECTIONS DESSERTS, CANDIES, SWEET BREADS
4 DAIRY PRODUCTS CHEESES
5 GRAINS/CEREALS BREADS, PASTA, CEREAL
6 MEAT/POULTRY PREPARED MEATS
7 PRODUCE DRIED FRUIT, BEAN CURD
8 SEAFOOD SEAWEED AND FISH

Close the table.
