The Sample Database

The List & Label Sample Application contains a Microsoft Access Database for a fictitious company called "Northwind" with sample data for a food wholesaler.

It is a relational database meaning that the data is distributed across several tables. Each table contains data elements that are related to one another. For instance, one table contains the product data. Another contains the product categories. A table's columns are referred to as fields (product name), and the rows of a table as data records.
