Review Figure 6-3, which provides an overview and example of a human resources database. Some additional information that might be maintained in such a database are an employee's date of termination, number of children, date of birth, educational level, sex code, social security tax, Medicare tax, amount of life insurance coverage, health care plan payroll-deduction amount, life insurance payroll-deduction amount, and pension plan payroll-deduction amount. 




Database Scenario:



The Music Stop is a locally owned music store in your hometown. It buys and sells CDs, cassettes, and records with a staff of 8 people. Up until this point, it has been using paper-based records to keep track of customers who come in to sell used music; realizing this system is very outdated and problematic, the store has called you and asked you to create a simple Microsoft Access table so it can keep track of the customers selling music and its employees.



Each individual should create an Access database that includes 2 different tables: an employee table and a customer table.



 Field titles for the employee table should be as follows:



o Employee ID number



o First name



o Last name



o Address



o Date of hire



o Date of birth



o Social security number



o Hourly wage



 Field titles for the customer table should be the following:



o Customer ID number



o First name



o Last name



o Address



o Phone number



o Number of items sold to store



 Select the appropriate data type for each field title (for example: social security number would be number type)



 For the employee table, enter 8 fake employees into the table



 For the customer table, enter 10 fake customers into the table



 Appropriately title each table



 If you think of other field titles that should be included, make sure to include them.



 Some things to consider:



o To create a new table, click "Create" on the top toolbar and then select table.



o To add field titles on the "Home" toolbar switch to Design View.
