Assessment Brief
Game Collection
Project Description:
You decide to catalog your video games
in an Access database. In this project, you add two tables to a database you
have started—one to identify the game system that plays your game and one to
identify the category or genre of the game. Then you join the tables in a
relationship and query the database to determine which games to take to a
family party.
