ACCT-361: Tables Lab Exercise Creating the Linking Table and Relationships Pets-R-US
Pets-R-Us entered the retail sales business just a few days ago and has experienced fair
success. Pets-R-Us products include food, treats, grooming, and medical supplies for dogs
and cats. The owners hope to expand the business into a chain at many area shopping
centers. You have been asked to review data collected from Pets-R-Us for the first few days
of operations. The following is an REA model with cardinalities of the sales event only. The
objective of this exercise is to help you learn how to create the linking table with a joint
primary key and the relationships with referential integrity. We will use this database for
future instruction and assignments. Required: 1.The four main tables have already been
created and populated.2.You will create the required linking table for the *.* relationship as
detailed on the REA model. Allfive tables are listed below, along with their primary and
foreign keys. The remaining attributesare detailed on the next page.Master tables Event
tables tblCustomer: Customer ID tblInventory: Item # tblAssociate: Sales Clerk ID
tblSale: Invoice #, [Customer ID], [Clerk ID] tblSale-Merchandise: [Invoice#], [Item #]
3.Create the relationships among the foreign and primary keys. Be certain to enforce
referentialintegrity. Add input masks as appropriate. We will learn more about input masks
and validationrules in our forms and controls labs.4.Populate the linking table with the
records listed for that table on page two of these instructions.Only a few records have been
selected for each table to keep data entry time down for thisexercise.5.To view the E-R
diagram and copy the image of your screen (for future assignments and theproject): From
the toolbar, select Database Tools and then Relationships. To create the image,simply press
the “print screen” key on your keypad. This will copy the screen image to yourclipboard.
Open a Word document and select copy to copy the contents of your clipboard.
6. To view the “data dictionary,” which documents each table and its properties, select the
documenter in the database tools tab. Select the tables and choose “OK.” In the options, you
can restrict the output. I typically choose only the items for the table and “Nothing” for fields
and indexes. Populated tables: tblCustomer Customer ID First Name Last Name Street

ACCT-361: Helpful Hints
Tables and Relationships
Create a New Database
Using your start button, locate the Microsoft Office folder under “All Programs” and click on
Microsoft Access. Choose a blank database and click “Create”.
Create a New Table
Select the Create tab and then choose Table Design in the create toolbar. Once you have
chosen a field name and a data type, carefully review the field properties at the lower part
of the screen. You may want to change the size or format of the field, create input masks, or
add validation rules. We will learn more about the masks and rules in our controls lab.
Set Primary Key
Highlight the row of the field you wish to make the primary key by clicking in the gray box
next to the row. Select the Primary Key icon on the toolbar.
To remove the key from a field, highlight the row of the field. Select the key icon on the
toolbar.
To create a composite primary key using two attributes, highlight both rows at the same
time and select the key icon.
Create Relationships and Enforce Referential Integrity
Select the Database Tools tab. Click on the Relationships icon on the toolbar. It resembles
an ER diagram. Select the tables in your database one at a time. If you accidentally close the
window that lists your tables, select the “Show Tables” icon on the toolbar under the Design
tab.
To create the relationships, highlight a foreign key in your table. Drag it and place it on top
of the corresponding primary key in the related table.
A window will pop up that allows you to edit the relationship. Select “Enforce Referential
Integrity.”
If you forgot to enforce referential integrity when setting your relationships, in the
relationships window, highlight the relationship line and right click. A short-cut menu will
appear that will allow you to edit the relationship.
To Return to the “Design” View of a Table
There are two ways. The first is to double-click the table name in the object window. This
will open the table in datasheet view. It will also provide a Design icon in the Home tab.
This icon resembles a protractor. Click on the icon to view the table design. The quicker

3. way to do this is to right click on the table name in the object window. This will open a
short-cut menu where you can choose “Design View.”
Two Mistakes that Will Cause Error Reporting When Creating Relationships
Data type mismatches – the PK and FK must be of the same data type
Referential integrity error – there is data in the FK field that does not exist in the PK field of
the related table.
