i want to make school data base

[The_Doc_Man]

thanx sir i can share details with you ?

Each of us gets this question now and then. We have dozens of people, maybe over 100, who try to offer help and each of us is different. We have different backgrounds, different specialties, different levels of training and experience. But consider this: If you ask one person directly/privately, you get one viewpoint. If you ask a question in the open forum, you have the potential of getting answers from multiple viewpoints. Further, your answers will come from practically anywhere in the world from any time zone with a FEW exceptions from the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans where there aren't many inhabited islands. Posting in public gives you the best odds of getting IDEAS as well as guidance at any time, night or day. So in general, resist the temptation to ask questions privately. You won't be sorry you asked publicly.

I would add to The_Doc_Man's excellent explanation that when you try to engage someone in a private discussion, you limit your response time to that one person's schedule and availability.

I, for one, do not spend 24 hours a day online browsing Access forums. That's true for others, I'm sure.

So, if you do engage someone privately, you may wait a lot longer for them to return to the forum than otherwise would be the case.

Plus I know of situations where someone offers to help privately, then goes to another forum to ask how to do it.

While many have offered their view, I'd add something that may help you MASSIVELY in your endevor.

Have you written down exactly how students relate to coursework and how it is tracked currently?
Have you gotten a list of what reports or other outputs will be needed from your database?

This helps define what data you save and how it relates. As an example, will your database need to email all members of the same section of a course? Will you need to talk to a messenger app to send them messages? Will you need to track scanned documents for students? Will you need to track both the student as well as parents or emergency contacts?

The more requirements you can identify FIRST helps you set up your data structures. It also helps set out a list of tasks that need be done and, often, the order you can do them in.

This is the most important step, and it's the most ignored step!

However it is no longer a difficult step to take if you take into consideration the capabilities of a large language model and have a chat!

You can ask the LLM the most stupidest questions that you would never consider posting on a forum, and get good answers and a leg up in developing a professional looking specification, with hardly any effort!

Speaking of LLM's, I think ya'll may be talking to a robot.
