The database "Store of TV cameras"

[hawker]

Please tell me if anyone has a ready-made database "TV Store". Maybe there is something similar, I need it for my studies. I would be very grateful

@hawker Welcome to AWF. You seem to be a student charged with creating a specific application for a class project. Don't you think it would be better if you actually attempted to do the class assignment yourself? Why are you taking the class if it is not to learn how to use Access?

We are always here to help but you do need to put in some effort yourself. Start by creating the tables and posting the database with those. If you tell us the specs, we will tell you if the tables will work to satisfy the requirements and if not we will offer suggestions.

Then you can move on to create forms and reports, etc. But don't create any objects until you are sure the schema will work.

ready-made database "TV Store"

What exactly is this TV store? You mean all the store sells is TV's?

You're right, I was given a task. I am able to use Access at a good level, but unfortunately I am limited in time. I need to show the work tomorrow, physically I won't be able to do it myself. So it would be nice if someone could give me their project or at least part of the project.

Yes, that's right. This is exactly the task I was given

@hawker - it would be nice if someone could give me a million US dollars - but I'm not going to hold my breath while waiting to get that. I know I don't have a TV Store database waiting around on the shelf. And if any of us did, we probably either paid good money to have it done or we put a lot of personal effort (sweat equity) into such a project so that we could use it. In either case, you want us to GIVE you something that - if it works - would be of monetary value. If we did that, we would neither get paid for our work nor would we get any benefit for the grade you would get for the assignment.

You said you were limited in time. So ... you wasted more of your time looking for someone else to do YOUR work? I hope to heck for your sake that you WEREN'T just sitting around waiting for something to be handed to you on a silver platter. Life doesn't do that. Pat said it and I'll say it. You could have used Access Rapid Application Development abilities to whip up a functional if simplistic system, but you've been looking for freebies. Here's a life lesson. Sometimes the best answer is "Do it yourself" and live with the results.

With no personal disrespect intended, I would advise you to get to work on your project and stop asking for charity.

try googling your requirement - a quick search found this link

Remember those days in school, where you told your mom at 9:00pm, "I need a science project for tomorrow morning. Please help me."?

And Mom always started her response with, "When did you know about this assignment?"

Unfortunately, Mom usually tried to bail you out, probably setting the wrong precedent for the rest of your life.

On a more recent level, one of the support services in a company where I used to work had this sign prominently displayed,

"Procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on our part."

This is where ChatGPT shines, you can skip all the criticism and awkward moments and actuality get started.

Having seen some of it's code, good luck with that.

The major problem I find if you get a template as a headstart, is the time it takes to actually understand how it works, as you are going to have to modify it after all.?

You missed the point. I dare say that everyone here, as well as every other forum where I regularly participate, the "experts" are involved precisely because we all want to help.

What happened here is that the OP popped in at the last possible moment, or last possible day, right before the assignment was due and casually asked for a donation of a working database which the OP could then submit as his or or own work, for a grade in a class. TheDocMan pointed out the monetary aspect. We can spend hours creating a viable database application. We don't just turn around and give that work away.

But more importantly, in my opinion, is the attitude that being enabled to turn in someone else's work for a grade in a class would be acceptable. You ask what's the downside to using ChatGPT? The same as asking YOU to create this database application for him or her. It's someone else's efforts.

If you are willing to donate hours of your own work, not to a learning experience, but only to getting an unearned grade, go ahead and do it.

That it might not work?

So far the gallery has nothing also.

@AccessBlaster. I apologize. My tone was a bit over the top.

I do feel strongly about asking for a donated product that could be used to fulfill the OP's class assignment with minimal or no effort.

I should not have jumped on you for that.

Well, now it seems you are still missing the point. I'm sure a significant number of people reading this discussion have similar inventory or Mom and Pop Store applications, or could put together something more or less appropriate. I can think of one, in fact, available as a template from Microsoft. It would require several hours of modification to suit the "tv store" scenario, but it's freely available.

The fact that people are not willing to donate their own work for someone else to use to get a grade, that is the reason nothing else is forthcoming.

 

[Gasman]

Surely an Inventory DB is all that is needed?, or at least a good place to start?
However, needing it by tomorrow is the big drawback.

 

[The_Doc_Man]

The biggest drawback is trying to get out of doing your own homework for a class. But that's actually fine, because if he gets a bad grade, he'll have learned a useful lesson... don't look for a bailout from a higher authority.

I usually have 2 words in answer to these sorts of requests, and I am sure you will get similar responses
as you work your way through life's hard road.

Why don't you step up and create a bespoke application for the lazy student who got himself in a time crunch? Every expert who responded is willing to help. Help does not mean - create from scratch a database which you will then hand in as YOUR OWN WORK and "earn" a grade for. I wonder how many times this sample that Chris provided a link to was submitted to the professor. Will the professor be competent enough to recognize the plagiarized application?

Given the complexity (or lack thereof) of this type of application, the student should have, with diligence, been able to create the database in maybe 6 hours. An expert could do it in 1 or 2 hours.
