If you have the date of birth, which you must have to calculate the age, then you NEVER need to store the age. Storing a caluculated value, in this case 'age' goes against the Third Normal Form (3NF) of database design, namely that you should eliminate non-key dependencies.

If you want the age you can calculate it at any time with a query or an expression on a form or report.

I'd suggest doing some reading on database normalisation to understand actual database design concepts.
