FIELDS:
These are rows of information that stores data of particular records.
FILE:
This is a group of related records.
INFORMATION:
This is a processed data/facts obtained by assembling them into meaningful form.
LOOK-UP-TABLE: This is a secondary table that enables database systems to use a small code field to enable many records in a primary table to referring to information
stored in another. This can be used as a means of ensuring that values entered in a primary table are legitimate values, thus safeguarding data integrity.
METHOD:
This is a procedure or function associated with a particular object.
MODEL, MODELESS:
This represents the run-time state of a form designated as a dialog box in which the user must clear the form before continuing with the application. A model box restricts access to other areas of the application. If the user can switch focus away from the dialog box without first closing it, then the run-time state is called modeless.
NON-WINDOWED CONTROL:
A non windowed control is a control that can not receive focus, that cannot be the parent of any other control and which does not have a window handler.
OBJECT LINKING AND EMBEDDING (OLE):
OLE is a method of sharing complex data among applications. With OLE, data from a server application is stored in a container application using the OLE object.
PRIMARY INDEX:
Primary index is an index on the key field of a database table. An index performs the following tasks:
• Determine the location of the record
• Keeps record in sorted order
• Speed up search operation
A primary index typically has a requirement of uniqueness that is no duplicate key can exist.
PROGRAM:
Set of coded instructions written in any of the programming languages to perform a specific task.
RELATIONAL DATABASE:
This is a database management model in which data is stored in rows and columns and which the data in one table can access the data in other tables by means of common data field. The database assigned to specific characters. For instance, the letter V has ASCII code of 65.
SOFTWARE:
This is a procedure in machine-readable instruction called program that directs the activities of the computer.
SQL:
Structured Query Language (SQL) is a relational database language used to define, manipulate, search, and retrieve data in database.
WINDOWED CONTROL:
This is a control that can receive focus, that can own other control, and which does have a window handle.
WINDOW HANDLE:
This is a number that is assigned by windows to a control that must be used to request services for that control from the windows' Application
Program Interface (API).
VISUAL COMPONENT:
This is a component that is visible or can be made visible on a form at run-time.
