| Introduction |
The SQC for Access utilizes the MS Access as its engine. A
generic relational database have been developed as a Quality
Database. A relational
database
is a collection of
data
items organized as a set of formally-described tables from which
data can be accessed or reassembled in many different ways without
having to reorganize the database tables. In addition to being
relatively easy to create and access, a relational database has
the important advantage of being easy to extend. After the
original database creation, a new data category can be added
without requiring that all existing applications be modified.
A relational database is a set of tables containing data
fitted into predefined categories. Each table contains one or more
data categories in columns. Each row contains a unique instance of
data for the categories defined by the columns. The tables can be
connected together in a relation to reduce the amount of data
entered.

The SQC for Access database is divided into 4 layers.
Plant, Equipment, Measurement and Data. These are generic names
and can be re-assigned by the user to a more logical name. |

Objective |
The objective of this
section is to provide step by step instruction of how to set
following objectives in the database with Administer Privileges.
Objective 1: Set the name of the company to
ABC Company.
Objective 2: Set the database layers to the
following convention.

Objective 3:
Suppose that you have 4 factories, lets call them FA, FB, FC and
FD. Each has 3 product lines P1, P2, P3. The all produce products
that we can measure length and width but not all
products are made in all of the factories. The number of
defects, length and width are measured every 2
minutes.
