Relational database
A group of one or more database files that, when used together, contain all the data you need.
Each occurrence of data is stored in only one table at a time, but can be accessed in any table,
either in the same file or from a related file. Data from another table or file is displayed in the
current table without being copied, and the data changes whenever the values in the other table
or file change.
Relationship
Relationships provide access to data from one table to another. Relationships can join one
record in one table to one record in another table, one record to many other records, or all
records in one table to all records in another table, depending on the criteria you specify when
you create the relationship in the relationships graph.
Relationships graph
In the Relationships tab of the Manage Database dialog box, you can see the occurrences of
tables both in the current file and from any external, related database files. In this relationships
graph, you join tables and change relationships between fields in different tables.
When you create a new table, a visual representation, or occurrence, of the table appears in the
relationships graph. You can specify multiple occurrences (with unique names) of the same
table in order to work with complex relationships in the graph.
Repeating field
A field containing multiple, separate values.
Report layout
A predefined layout type for setting up reports. You can create a layout with simple rows and
columns of data (as in a list), or a complex report with grouped data (subsummary reports). The
fields that you specify appear in columns across the screen or page in one line. Field names are
in the header part and the footer part is blank.
Report with grouped data
A subsummary report that you create using the Report layout type. Reports with grouped data
can include totals and subtotals.
Row
When a database file is viewed as a table, a row corresponds to a record.
Runtime solution
A database that does not require FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Pro Advanced in order to be used.
In FileMaker
Pro Advanced, use the Developer Utilities to bind a primary file and any auxiliary
files to produce a stand-alone runtime solution.
S
Schema
In database terminology, a schema is the organization of the tables, the fields in each table, and
the relationships between fields and tables.
Screen stencils
In Layout mode, nonprinting guides that help you design layouts for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or
computers with different screen resolutions.
