MS Access Forum / Database Design / March 2007Table-driven db
What is a "table-driven" database as opposed to forms-driven? I have been designing forms driven databases. Have you tried use those as search terms on-line? Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Office/Access MVP > What is a "table-driven" database as opposed to forms-driven? I have been > designing forms driven databases. Yes, that is what I am doing. I know they use Access Front end and SQL backend so I am thinking they mean by "table-driven" that the queries table joins etc are done in SQL but I wanted to be sure that is all the terminology implies.

I know very little about Filemaker, but the little exposure I have had told me in no uncertain terms that its a *completely* different design paradigm than Access. Not better, not worse, just a different approach. HTH, > Yes, that is what I am doing.

File Maker is not involved in this at all, it is just Access and SQL. What I meant by my application being form driven is that I have a lot of Complex Forms where the data is entered, so the forms are "driving" what is stored where. In the situation I was discussing. They are linking up with tables with Sql data which was entered from another application there by "table driven" (I guess). Maybe I just answered my own question but I wanted to be sure the terminology didn't imply more than that.Thx DM > My 2 cents: > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > >> > been > >> > designing forms driven databases. |
