EEOS 381 - Applications of Geographic Information Systems
Spring, 2008
- Lab 2 -
The purpose of this lab is to become familiar with creating and working
with tables in Microsoft Access 2003 RDBMS software. RDBMS technology
and concepts are increasingly being used in GIS applications and are
the foundation of the ArcGIS geodatabase format.
*** For this lab, as in Lab 1, copy the practice files that accompany the
PDF lab book into a folder on your H: drive. The sample databases are located in S:\ge381_s08\Access_Practice. (For organizational purposes, I suggest
creating a folder on your H: Drive to store the practice files and any
work you save, rather than placing them at the top level of H:). The lab manual files are located in S:\ge381_s08\Access_Book.
Lab 2 (60 points)
- Complete Lessons 4, 7 and 8 in the lab manual.
- Create a new MS Word or Notepad file named
<your_username>_lab2.doc (or .txt if you use Notepad) and answer
all the True/False, Multiple Choice, and Short Answer questions on
pages 129-130 (for Lesson 4), pages 263-264 (for Lesson 7) and on pages
311-312 (for Lesson 8).
- Copy your completed document into T:\EEOS_381\381_labs_submit\lab2.
Due on Monday, February 11, 2008.
