a short summary is "by tables with rows and columns"

In virtually any database today there are four essential elements: tables, queries, reports, and forms. All are indispensable and necessary:

• The tables will allow to store the data.

• With the queries we can access the stored data, order it and filter it by different criteria.

• Reports will be the most effective way to present our data.

• Forms make data entry tasks easy.

This is a very basic definition of each of the elements that are part of a database, but enough to begin to familiarize ourselves with these concepts.
