Info

You can see that DB2 automatically takes you to the Results screen whenever a query is executed. The MyTable isn’t needed again in this book, so delete it by switching back to the Interactive screen, entering the following code into the <strong>SQL</strong> entry box, and then clicking Execute: DROP TABLE MyTable The table is now removed from the Film Club database. Installing and Using Microsoft Access XP Unfortunately, there’s no free trial software to download if you don’t have Microsoft Access, but you can order a CD with a trial version of Microsoft Office, which includes Access, from the Microsoft Web site. The installation of Access is fairly straightforward. All the default or typical options are acceptable for the purposes of this book, and when given a choice, you should simply select typical options. Otherwise, installation is mostly a matter of clicking Next. Once installed, click Start ➪ Programs and select the Access icon. Once it’s loaded and activated, you should see the default screen, which appears in Figure B-52: Figure B-52 Setting Up and Using the Five Database Systems 423
