This section tells you how to work with the data in the database. Once you have defined all the database tables and columns that will hold the data, you can enter, edit, view, analyze, and print data.

R:BASE provides you with different tools for working with your data. This chapter discusses each of these tools and the different things you can do with each one:

• Data Browser and Data Editor-These tools allow you to view, enter, and edit data from one table at a time in a format similar to a spreadsheet.
• Query By Example (QBE)-This tool allows you to analyze your data; you can select specific data from different tables and display it in a tabular format. You can also save this data as a new table.
• Views-This tool lets you save the conditions in a query, allowing you to use the query again and again.
• Forms-This tool allows you to create a form, which can be used to enter, edit, and view data. A form lets you design your own way of accessing data for you and other users of the database.
• Reports-This tool lets you analyze your data and print it.
• Labels-This tool lets you print data from your database in label format.
