D. Answer the following questions .
Q1. Difference between a Form and a Report in DBMS:
Form: A form is an interface in a Database Management System (DBMS) that is used
to input, edit, or view data in a more user-friendly way. It is typically used for data
entry and modification.
Report: A report, on the other hand, is used to present data in a structured, printed or
viewable format. It is often used for summarizing or analyzing data from the database
and is generally for viewing or printing.
Q2. Field Control with respect to Forms:
A field control in forms refers to the elements that allow users to interact with the
form fields, such as text boxes, drop-down menus, radio buttons, etc. These controls
help users input or select data in the corresponding field of a form.
Q3. Tool on the Forms Record Toolbar to Insert Text on the Form:
The tool used to insert text on the form is the "Text Box" tool. This allows you to
place a text field on the form where data can be entered or displayed.
Q4. Two Ways to Create a Form in LibreOffice Base:
1. Using the Form Wizard: This method allows users to create forms quickly by
selecting fields from a table or query and arranging them into a pre-designed template.
2. Using the Design View: This method allows for more customization and control over
the form’s layout, where users can manually add fields and design the form layout.
Q5. Difference Between a Static and a Dynamic Report:
Static Report: A static report is a fixed report that does not change based on user
input or data updates. It is generated once and remains unchanged.
Dynamic Report: A dynamic report, on the other hand, is generated on the fly based
on current data and user input, meaning the content can change depending on the
parameters or queries used when creating the report.
Q6. Function of Forms Controls Toolbar and Records Toolbar:
Forms Controls Toolbar: The Forms Controls toolbar provides tools for adding and
customizing controls to the form. These controls can include text boxes, buttons,
labels, combo boxes, checkboxes, and more, which help in creating a user interface
for interacting with the database.
Records Toolbar: The Records toolbar provides tools to navigate, view, and manage
individual records in a form. It includes buttons for adding, deleting, saving, and
navigating through records (e.g., first, last, next, previous).
