Microsoft Access database

Your dm.xls Excel file is then created. The process of exporting a Microsoft Access database file is just as easy, requiring only a few clicks of the mouse. 

The Microsoft Access database (http //www.microsoft.com/) is a collection of data and objects related to a particular topic (Hutchinson and Giddeon, 2000). The data represent the information stored in the database, and the objects help users define the structure of that information and automate the data manipulating tasks. Access supports SQL (Structured Query Language) to create, modify, and manipulate records in the table to facilitate the process. It is a table-oriented processing. The user is referred to the Microsoft Access User s Guide or online Help for information. 

The data have been collected and analysed using a Microsoft Access database the web pages have been developed in ASP (Active Server Pages) system. The database has been created to make easily available the information for the different kinds of users. In order to achieve such a result, it has been devised a file-user interface "user-friendly", guiding the users by means of easy-access menus. 

The data from Affymetrix analysis were transferred into Microsoft Access database, and the reproducible gene expression changes were extracted by linking data from separate experiments.

It is anticipated that, by merging the 23 different Microsoft Access databases that were previously used into one centrally managed, easy-to-use system, the VIS will significantly improve the quality and reliability of data held by the Secretariat. The VIS will also greatly enhance the ability of the Secretariat to analyse declarations and carry out data monitoring. 

Recently, Thurman et al. oeated a home-made Microsoft Access database of 350 pesticides amenable to positive-ion electrospray (Ferrer and Thurman 2007). To identify pesticides in food and water, another research group used a semi-automated molecular feature , and database searching for the exact monoisotopic mass of 100 compounds, one exact mass in-source fragment for each compound and retention time (Ferretti et al. 2007). In spite of the progress made, there are still some limitations using this approach, as it was not feasible to automate the matching of isotope distribution. 

In most cases, the data that you use for clinical trial analyses are found in some kind of computer file external to the SAS System. The data you need may be found in a permanent SAS data set, a relational database table found in Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, a Microsoft Access or Excel file, a simple delimited ASCII text file, or even an XML file. In any case SAS provides a wide array of ways in which to import data files into SAS. We explore these tools and the advantages and disadvantages of each in this chapter. 

Because Microsoft Office is so widely used, it is sometimes necessary for you to import data directly from Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access. Excel files make for a poor database, however. First, Excel files are almost guaranteed to come from a system that is not compliant with CFR 21 - Part 11. Second, it is often the case that the Excel files were created in such a way that the data are not WYSIWYG ( what you see is what you get ). In other words, each cell in Excel could be entered with a different Excel format, which you would not see until you either reformat an entire column in Excel or try to have some other software like SAS read the contents of the Excel file. For these reasons, it is best not to accept Microsoft Excel data as a data source for clinical trials if at all possible. 

Beginning with SAS 9.1, the LIBNAME statement can be used to simply map to an Excel or Access database. This facility is available in the Microsoft Windows and UNIX operating systems. For example, the following SAS code reads in and then prints the lab normal file normal ranges.xls. 

QuanOptimize from Micromass also allows automated method development for quantitative LC/MS/MS. It automatically identifies the best method for each compound, then runs batches of samples for quantitative analyses and report results in a QuanLynx browser. Thermo recently launched a similar product for automatic MS tuning. Known as QuickQuan, it generates data and stores it in a central Microsoft Access or Oracle database for future access. The infusion-based valve switching auto-tuning device allows individual compounds to be fully and automatically optimized in about 1 min.

Microsoft Access 2003 serves as database system and provides the planner with the user interface. 

A database such as Microsoft Access would be able to do this Boolean search with ease. The Filter by Form, the Filter by Selection, and the Advanced filter/sort function allow the user to specify density >0.6 AND <0.7 or bp >-40 AND <0. This search yields three results ... 

You must have Microsoft Access installed on your computer if you wish to modify the contents of the database. This is a necessary tool for maintaining a company database. If you do not have Microsoft Access, you can still use the database with Capture CIS and you can still download parts from the Internet. However, you will not be able to modify the downloaded data unless you have Microsoft Access.

The user portion of the database is where you will save parts for your company. Notice that the USER portion is split into subsections. When you download parts from Activeparts, they will be added to the USER section. Using Microsoft Access, you can place them in one of the existing subsections, or create new subsections. Select the Hardware subsection ... 

The next thing that we would like to do is view our database and see where the part was added. Save the project and then run Microsoft Access. Open file DIGIKEY SC.mdb. It should be located in the Capture Database directory in the... 

Close the table and then close Microsoft Access. Switch to the schematic view of Oread Capture CIS and then type z to place a database part ... 

To add a part to the database we must create a symbol for the part using Oread capture, unless it is a standard symbol that already exists, and then we must add the part information to the database using Microsoft Access. We will show how to create a new library, add a new symbol to that library, and then add the part information to the Digikey database.

Figure 2,7. Query form of Access. Database retrieval is illustrated using Query form to retrieve amino acid database with Microsoft Access.

Physicochemical properties of amino acids are very useful descriptors for understanding the structures and properties of proteins. These properties are expressed numerically in indexes that can be retrieved from the AAindex database. Design an index database of physicochemical properties of amino acids with Microsoft Access that may facilitate the data retrieval according to their chemical similarities ... 

Apply Microsoft Access to design a database appended with queries for retrieving groups of dehydrogenases according to their coenzyme specificity and stereospecificity. 

When discussing validating databases, it is important to distinguish between a database and a Database Management System (DBMS). The DBMS is the layered software that provides the tools to build and use a database. For example, Oracle and Microsoft Access are two examples of a DBMS often used in pharmaceutical companies. 

Relational Database. A common database, architecture in which related data items are stored in separate tables, accessed by key fields, and indexed for rapid search and retrieval. The dominant relational database systems used in pharmaceutical discovery include Oracle, Microsoft Access and SQLServer, and IBM DB2. 

Microsoft, Oracle, and Linux are software platforms that provide scalable environments. Microsoft Access is a widely used data entry platform where tables with pull-down entries can be created. The data storage element at the back-end requires Microsoft SQL or a comparable system to provide reliable and secure back-up and data storage. The systems should allow for dynamic error detection notification at data entry, construction of computer forms that mimic hardcopy forms, and data lookup capabilities for subject information. A web-based data entry format allows for integration of geographically separate sites. An inventory system for the repository should be incorporated into the electronic database. A data dictionary should be part of the protocol (7).
