Database Form
A database form is a window or screen of related fields from a
database.
It is used to enter data or browse and view data.
All forms contain a number of fields, each with a
field-label. The field
is a space to enter data. Forms layout the fields and field labels in
a logical manner to make data entry user friendly.
In a database form the input is checked against the rules for the
field-type and may be additional rules, such as not null.
Forms may be also checked against
field or table constraints defined in a database, such as foreign keys and
table relationships.
OpenOffice.org Base can create database forms with
the Form Wizard
quickly.
