14. Database Manager
The database manager is a program that can be used to create a
database in the form that you specify. You can use the DataBase
Manager to add records and search for data in your records. A table
contains at least one record, and a record consists of at least one
field. You can specify attributes for each of the fields. In other words,
a record is made up of a group of one or more fields.
When the database manager is started, it will check whether or not a
table has been registered or created already. If no table has been
registered yet, a “table manager” dialog box will appear to help you to
register a new table. If there is at least one table already registered,
a “search records” dialog box will appear and the “search” edit box
will be focused, so that you can search for data records in the tables.
If you want to close the program while you are adding or searching a
table, press “space-z (dots 1-3-5-6).” Or you can use the menu.
Press “space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or F2 to open the menu. Move to “exit”
by pressing “space-1” or “space-4” (or Left or down scroll button)
repeatedly, and press “enter.” Or you can type “z (dots 1-3-5-6)” in
the menu.
The major navigation keys that can be used in this program are as
follows.
