record in the table:

List the different objects in Access?

Write the Characteristics of Database.

Characteristics of a database:

1. Data Independence: The database is independent of the application programs that use it.

2. Data Integration: The database integrates data from multiple sources into a single, unified view.

3. Data Security: The database provides mechanisms for controlling access to the data, such as
passwords, access control lists, and encryption.

4. Data Integrity: The database ensures that the data is accurate, complete, and consistent by
enforcing data validation rules and constraints.

5. Data Redundancy: The database minimizes data redundancy by storing each piece of data only
once.

6. Data Consistency: The database ensures that the data is consistent across all applications and
users.

7. Scalability: The database can handle increasing amounts of data and user traffic without
compromising performance.
8.Query Language: The database provides a query language, such as SQL, that allows users to
define, manipulate, and query the data.

9. Backup and Recovery: The database provides mechanisms for backing up and recovering the
data in case of a failure or disaster.
10. Concurrency Control: The database provides mechanisms for controlling concurrent access to
the data by multiple users and applications.
