This tutorial was basically designed to give users the basic knowledge of creating data bases. Databases are nothing more than a collection of files that work together to store data in a structured way.

One of the main focuses of databases is how well organizations manage their database and maintains the accuracy of their data.

Relational databases are the most common type of databases that are used today. The eliminate data redundancy which could cause companies to enter inaccurate data into their databases.

    2. I can't recommend any eBooks in particular, given that I didn't have Internet access while I was learning VB, and I haven't quite gotten into .NET programming yet (my focus shifted to web programming somewhat). However, if you can find an eBook version of the latest Sam's Teach Yourself Visual Basic [insert VB version here], you should be set with the basics, and have enough understanding to figure out most issues. Anything more complex is likely to be found only in massive reference volumes, requiring painstaking search and research. I'd ask those questions here. :)…
