GO16_AC_CH01_GRADER_1F_AS – Literary Festival Events
Project Description:
In this project, you will use a database template and create database objects to track events for the Literary Festival at a college. You will enter records into the Events table using a multiple-items form and a single-items form. You will append data from Excel to the Events table. You will create a second table in the database that tracks contact information for the festival events.
