What is record structure, file organisation and processing?

[flukey2005]

Hi, im doing some computing coursework and i have 3 main things, design, implementation and testing

I know how to do everything in it but im not sure what recordstrucutre, file organisation and processing would include.
The coursework is based on a n access database
Any info to set me stragith would be greatly appeciated.

Hmmm... If you're talking about an Access database (or any other database) you probably mean a Recordset and not a record structure. However you need to elaborate on your question a little to get a straight answer.

I'm doing the same course (I think) Computing AS Level (UK) ?? If so...

My project was done a few weeks ago though,

Files content, structure and access - Describe the files (at least 2) which are going to be stored giving the fields and their descriptions for each file.
Describe how each file will be accessed.

Processing stages - Describe the processing involved in your new system. Draw a system structure diagram.
Split your processing requirements into separate modules. Give pseudo-code algorithms for each module(if appropriate). Show how the modules are interconnected, and the files which are accessed.

Describe the new system using data flow diagrams.

So for file orginisation it is basicly the details from your access database field names table names etc (Plus what they contain)

Processing is really what your program does - add up employees wages or whatever.

I have moved this to the general developer forum

Yes thats right, Comuting AS Level AQA, Terrys Turkeys, so my design of definition of data rquirements, system design, user interface etc.. is record structure, file organisation and processing?
