CBSE Notes for Class 8 Computer in Action – Advanced Features of Access 2013

In the previous chapter, we learnt that Access is a RDBMS software. Tables, Forms, Queries and Reports are the important objects that can be created in an Access database. In real life scenarios, hundreds of records are stored in the database tables. Access objects such as Queries, Forms and Reports provide a convenient and easy way to enter, search, analyse and display the large amounts of data stored in the database tables. Queries let us quickly extract data from one or more tables based on the given conditions. Forms and Reports let us enter or display data in a user friendly manner. Let us learn more about these objects.

QUERY
A query is used to retrieve selective data based on specific criteria from one or more tables. For example, you may design a query to display names of all students who have secured more than 90 percent or a query to find out details of customers who made a purchase in the past one month. Let us learn to create simple queries in Access.
Creating a Query
Just like tables, there is a Query Design view in which queries are created and a Query Datasheet view in which results of the query are displayed. Let us create a query based on table Student to filter the details of students whose percentage is more than 90.
To create a Query, follow the given steps.
Step 1: Click on the Create tab (Fig. 3.1).
Step 2: Click on the Query Design option in the Queries group. The Show Table dialog box appears (Fig. 3.2).

Step 3: Choose the table on which you want to base your query and click on the Add button. After adding the table, click on the Close button to close the Show Table dialog box. The selected table appears in a small window in the upper section of the Query Design View. The lower section of the Query Design View displays the Design Grid (Fig. 3.3). In this example, click and add the Doctor table.
Step 4: Add the fields to be used in the query in the Design Grid by following any one of the following.

• Double-click on the field name in the small table window in the upper section of the Query Design View.
  OR
• Drag and drop fields from the small table window in the upper section to the Field column in the Design Grid.
  In this example, add the D_Id, Name, Hospital, Fee and Specialisation fields to the Design Grid.

Step 5: Type the search condition in the Criteria row of the field on the basis of which you want to choose or filter the records (Fig. 3.4).
In this example, type the condition >600 in the Criteria row of the Fee field.          .
Step 6: Clear the Show checkbox for fields that should not appear in the Query Result.
Step 7: If you want the Query results to be sorted, then select Ascending or Descending order from the Sort box under that field. In this example, select Ascending order in the Sort box under the Fee field.
Step 8: Click on the Save option in the Quick Access Toolbar or the Save option on the File tab to save the Query. You will notice that the Query object gets added to the Navigation Pane (Fig. 3.5).
Step 9: Click on the Run option in the Results group on the Design tab to execute the query. The query results appear in the Datasheet View, which looks like a table. You will notice that the query displays the details of all doctors with fee more than ?600 arranged in ascending order of the Fee field.

Creating a Query with Multiple Conditions
Let us learn to create queries with more than one condition.

• Specifying the condition in the Criteria row for more than one field will result in a query that will select only those records that meet all the conditions.
  Consider the following queries based on the table Doctor (Fig. 3.1).

Example 1:
The following query shows the records for which the Fee<600 and the Hospital is Heal Well Hospital.

Example 2:
The following query shows the records for which the Fee>=600 and the Hospital is Heal Well Hospital and the Specialisation is Nephrologist.

• Specifying the first condition in the Criteria row and other conditions in the Or row and the rows beneath it results in a query that meets one or more of the specified conditions.

Example 1:
The following query shows the records for which the Fee<600 or the Hospital is Heal Well Hospital.

Example 2:
The following query shows the records for which the Fee>=600 or the Hospital is Heal Well Hospital or the Specialisation is Nephrologist.

FORM
A form provides an interface that allows users to enter, change, and view the data in a database tables. Forms are made up of elements such as textboxes, labels and so on. These elements are known as controls.
You can work on a form in three views (Fig. 3.11).

• Form View :
  : You can enter, edit, and view data in Form view.
• Layout View:
  :You can view the data and make changes in the form such as change the size of various controls.
• Design View:
  : Design view displays only the structure of your form. In this view, you cannot see the underlying data, but you can perform some tasks in Design view that you cannot perform in Layout view such as view the Header and Footer.

Creating a Form
Follow these steps to create a form.
Step 1: Click on the table in the Navigation Pane on which the form should be based (Fig. 3.12).
Step 2: Click on the Create tab.
Step 3: Click on the Form option in the Forms group. A form is created and it opens in the Layout View. You can change the view to the Form view and enter or display data in the table. Three new tabs—Design, Arrange and Format appear in the Ribbon.
Step 4: Click on the Save option in the Quick Access Toolbar or the Save option on the File tab to save the form. You will notice that the Form object gets added to the Navigation Pane (Fig. 3.13).

Formatting a Form
You can change the appearance of the form using the various options on the Design and Format tabs. Let us use some of these options.
Using the Design tab
You can add a logo and title to your report by making use of Logo and Title option in the Header/Footer group on the Design tab (Fig. 3.14 and Fig. 3.15).

Using the Format tab
You can format the font (size, colour, alignment), add a background image, change the colour of shapes and so on. using the options on the Format tab (Fig. 3.16 and Fig. 3.17).

REPORT                                                                                                        
Reports are used to present data from tables or queries in a format that can be printed. Printouts of report cards, invoices are examples of reports. You cannot make changes to the data in a report. You can work on a report in four views.

• Report View 
  : You can view data in this view but cannot make any design related changes.
• Print Preview
  : This view displays the report as it will appear after printing.
• Design View
  :Design view displays only the structure of your report. In this view you cannot see the underlying data, but you can perform some tasks in Design view that you cannot perform in Layout view such as view the Header and Footer sections.
• Layout View
  : You can view the data and make changes in the report such as change the size of various controls.

Creating a Report
Follow these steps to create a report.
Step 1: Click on the table or the query for which you want to create a report (Fig. 3.18).
Step 2: Click on the Create tab.
Step 3: Click on the Report option in the Reports group.
Step 4: The report is created and opens in the Layout view. Four new tabs—Design, Arrange, Format and Page Setup appear in the Ribbon

Step 5:
Click on the Save option in the Quick Access Toolbar or the Save option on the File tab to save the report. You will notice that the Report object gets added to the Navigation Pane.

Formatting a Report
Just like a form, you can format a report using the options on the Design and Format tab. Figure 3.20 shows a report that has been formatted using the options discussed under Formatting a Form section.

Printing Reports
You can print reports using the Print option under the File tab or by using the Print Preview view of a Report. This view shows how the report will appear on a page. It also lets us choose the page orientation, page setup and so on.
Step 1: Click the down arrow under View option in the Views group on the Home tab or the Design tab.
Step 2: Click on the Print Preview option. The report is displayed in the manner in which it would appear on a page.
Step 3: Choose appropriate values for Page Size, Margin and Orientation from the Ribbon.

Unseen Passage for Class 8 Literary CBSE With Answers

A literary passage consists of extracts from works of great writers and can be in the form of novels, short stories and poetry.

Unseen Passage Solve Example With Answers for Class 8 Literary CBSE

When I was a girl of about twelve, I used to stay in a village in north Karnataka with my grandparents. Those days, the transport system was not very good, so we used to get the morning paper only in the afternoon. The weekly magazine used to come one day late. All of us would wait eagerly for the bus, which used to come with the papers, weekly magazines and the post.

At that time, Triveni was a very popular writer in the Kannada language. She was a wonderful writer. Her style was easy to read and very convincing. Her stories usually dealt with complex psychological problems in the lives of ordinary people and were always very interesting. Unfortunately for Kannada literature, she died very young. Even now, after forty years, people continue to appreciate her novels.

One of her novels, called Kashi Yatre, was appearing as a serial in the Kannada weekly Karmaveera then. It is the story of an old lady and her ardent desire to go to Kashi or Varanasi. Most Hindus believe that going to Kashi and worshipping Lord Vishweshwara is the ultimate punya. This old lady also believed in this, and savouring it as much as possible. Her struggle to go there was described in that novel. In the story, there was also a young orphan girl who falls in love but there was no money for the wedding. In the end, the old lady gives away all her savings without going to Kashi. She says, ‘The happiness of this orphan girl is more important than worshipping Lord Vishweshwara at Kashi.’

My grandmother, Krishtakka, never went to school so she could not read. Every Wednesday, the magazine would come and I would read the next episode of this story to her. During that time, she would forget all her work and listen with the greatest concentration. Later, she could repeat the entire text by heart. My grandmother too never went to Kashi, and she identified herself with the novel’s protagonist. So more than anybody else, she was the one most interested in knowing what happened next in the story and used to insist that I read the serial out to her.

Question 1.
Why was the morning newspaper delayed in the narrator’s village?
Answer:
The transport system in the area where the narrator used to stay was not very good.
Hence, the morning paper would arrive only by afternoon.

Question 2.
What is special about Triveni’s stories?
Answer:
Triveni was a wonderful writer. Her stories were special because they usually dealt with complex psychological problems in the lives of ordinary people and were always very interesting.

Question 3.
Why did the Grandmother depend on the narrator to know the story?
Answer:
Grandmother never went to school, and hence, she could not read. Every Wednesday when the magazine would come, the narrator, her granddaughter, would read the next episode of the story to her.

Question 4.
Why is it important to go to Kashi in Hinduism?
Answer:
Most Hindus believe that going to Kashi and worshipping Lord Vishweshwara is the ultimate punya. Hence, it is regarded as important to go to Kashi in Hinduism.

Question 5.
Find words from the passage that are antonyms of the following:
a. unpopular
b. simple
Answer:
a. popular
b. complex

Literary Passage (Poem)

Last night I had the strangest dream
I’d ever dreamed before,
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to the war.
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women and men,
And the paper they were signing said
They’d never fight again.
And when the paper was all signed
And a million copies made,
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed.
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing ’round and ’round,
While swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground.
Last night I had the strangest dream
I’d ever dreamed before,
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to the war.

Question 1. What did the poet dream?
_____________________________________________
Question 2. What did the speaker dream about the room?
_____________________________________________
Question 3. What are swords, guns and uniforms symbolic of?
_____________________________________________
Question 4. Why were the people dancing on the streets?

What are modal verbs?
Modals (also called modal verbs, modal auxiliary verbs, modal auxiliaries) are special verbs that behave irregularly in English. They are different from normal verbs like “work, play, visit…” They give additional information about the function of the main verb that follows it. They have a great variety of communicative functions.

Looking for an easy way to learn English Grammar? then you are in right place. Here we providing basic English Grammar topics like Tenses Verbs, Nouns, etc…

Modals Exercise For Class 10 CBSE With Answers PDF

Modal auxiliaries are verbs such as can, must, could, would, etc. which are used with main verbs to express such ideas as a possibility, permission, necessity, obligation, etc.

Characteristics of Modal Verbs

1. The modal verbs are:
   • can
   • could
   • may
   • might
   • must
   • ought to
   • shall
   • should
   • will
   • would

2. Modal verbs have only one form. They have no ‘ing’ or ‘ed’ forms.
3. They don’t add ‘s’ or ‘es’ to the third person singular form.
   For ex: Mohan can speak two languages.
   She will try and visit tomorrow.
4. Modal verbs are followed by the infinitive of another verb without ‘to’ (first form of the verb).
5. Questions are formed without do/does in the present or did in the past.
   Can I help you?
   May I come in?
6. Negative sentences are formed with not or the short format and do not use do/does or did.

Now let us see how all these modals express the modality.

CBSE Class 10 Science Practical Skills – Resistors in Series

BASIC BUILDING CONCEPTS
Resistance: The property of a conductor which resists or opposes the flow of current through it is called the resistance of the conductor. Its SI unit is ohm(Ω).
Current ∝ 1/Resistance
The resistance of a uniform conductor is

1. directly proportional to the length of the conductor and
2.  inversely proportional to the area of cross-section of the conductor.
   Therefore,          R∝ l/A  or R = ρ l/A

where p is the constant of proportionality, called the specific resistance or resistivity of the material of the conductor. It depends on the nature of the material of the conductor, i.e. it is constant for a particular material but different for different materials. The unit of resistivity is ohm-metre or Ω-m.

You can also download NCERT Science Solutions Class 10 to help you to revise complete syllabus and score more marks in your examinations.

Series combination of resistors:
The arrangement in which various resistors are connected in such a way that they provide only one path to the flow of current is called the series combination of the resistors. The series combination of resistors Rv R2 and R3 is shown in the figure given below.

CHARACTERISTICS OF SERIES CIRCUIT

1. The current flowing through all the resistors in series circuit is same.
2. The total voltage across the combination is equal to the sum of the voltage drop across the individual resistor.
3. Voltage across any resistor is directly proportional to the resistance of that resistor (as I is constant).
4.  Equivalent resistance of the series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances, i.e. Req = R3 + R2 + R3.
5. The value of equivalent resistance is higher than the highest value of resistor used in the series circuit.

Uses of series circuit:
It is used when

1. the resistance of the circuit is to be increased.
2.  the current in the circuit is to be decreased.
3. the less potential difference across a particular resistor is needed.

AIM
To determine the equivalent resistance of two resistors when connected in series.

MATERIALS REQUIRED
Two standard resistance coils, ammeter, voltmeter, one-way plug key, low resistance rheostat, connecting wires, cell or battery eliminator.

THEORY
Series combination of resistors: The end to end connection of two or more resistors are said to be in series combination if they provide only one path to the flow of current, i.e. same current would flow through each resistor.
The equivalent resistance of the series combination of two resistors is given by
Rs = R1 + R2

Quantifiers Exercises for Class 6 CBSE With Answers Pdf

Quantifiers are words used in front of nouns to show number or amount without being specific.

Use of Some and Any
‘Some’ and ‘any’ are used to state the quantity, amount of something. When using ‘some’ or ‘any’, the exact number is not stated. Some and any are quantifiers.

Study the following tables:

Use some in positive (affirmative) sentences. Some is used for both countable and uncountable nouns.
Examples

• I have some friends. (Friends is countable)
• I’d like some water. (Water is uncountable)

ANY: Use any for countable and uncountable nouns in Interrogative sentences.
Examples

• Have you got any cheese? (Cheese is uncountable)
• Have you got any friends? (Friends is countable)

Negative sentences
Example:

• He hasn’t got any cheese.
• He hasn’t got any friends in Chicago.

Exception:
We use some in questions when offering or requesting something.
Example

• Would you like some bread? (Offer)
• Can I have some water, please? (Request)

The same rules are true for something and anything, someone and anyone, and somewhere and anywhere.

Use of Much and Many
The words much and many mean a lot of.
If a noun is in singular, we use much
Example:

• Much money

If a noun is in plural, we use many
Example:

• Many friends

In everyday English, we normally use much/many only in questions and negative clauses.
Example:

• How much money have you got?
• Sarla does not have many friends.

In positive clauses with so, as or too, we also use much/many.
Example:

• Sarla has so many friends.
• She has as many friends as Suman.
• Rohit has too much sweets.

In all other positive clauses, however, we prefer expressions like a lot of / lots of.
Example:

• Sarla has a lot of / lots of friends.
• Rohit has a lot of / lots of money.

Use of Little, a little, the little, few, a few, the few:
Little, a little, the little denotes quantity and are used before uncountable nouns
Few, a few, the few denote number and used before plural nouns.
Little/Few:-Both ‘Little’ and ‘Few’ denote ‘Scarcity’ or ‘lack’. They are almost none or negative in meaning.
Example

• There was little hope for the patient. (=there was almost no hope)
• There are few takers of the new car. (= almost no takers)

A Little and A Few
‘A Little’ conveys the idea of small amount.
‘A Few’ conveys the idea of a small number.
Example

• A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
• A few members were absent from the meeting.

The Little and The Few:
The Little:- It conveys the idea of all amount.
The Few:- It conveys the idea of all the members.
Example

• The little money he had was spent on his wife’s illness.
• The few spectators who came to see the match were disappointed with India’s batting.

Long Answer (Value Based) Type Questions [8 Marks each]

Question 1.
The poet in the poem ‘For Anne Gregory’ conveys that we should give importance to the inner beauty and not the physical appearance. Elaborate with reference to the poem.
Answer:
In the conversation that takes place between Anne Gregory and another speaker, the poet has tried to show that inner beauty is real beauty whereas physical appearance is changeable and hence, unimportant. The first speaker says to Anne that young men love her for her beautiful yellow hair and may never love her for what she really is. To this, Anne replies that her hair-colour can be changed into black, brown or carrot, meaning that external beauty is all superficial and men should not love her for that. Through Anne’s reply, the poet has made clear his preference for internal beauty over physical appearance.

Question 2.
How right or wrong is it to judge someone on the basis of his/her physical appearance?
Answer:
Physical appearances never give the true account of a person as it can be changed with the help of clothing, make-up and other such things.
Something which is not true and real should not be used to judge the person carrying it. A person must be judged on the basis of his behaviour that shows the true characteristics of his personality. This is explained by Anne in her reply to the first speaker that her beautiful hair-colour which attracts men is changeable, hence, men should not fall in love with her based on her-hair colour.

Question 3.
Why do you think the other speaker mentioned the old religious man and the text that proves that only God can love Anne for herself alone?
Answer:
The speaker mentioned the text found by an old religious man that proves that only God can love Anne for herself alone. It is so because the speaker wanted to tell Anne that her desire that men should not see her outer beauty is not going to be fulfilled. The speaker tells Anne that only God can be so great as to avoid external beauty and look beyond it. Man, on the other hand, falls for all things that appear pretty from outside and never bothers about what lies inside.
