Database Objects: Queries

Queries ask questions. Queries can look up information as well as manipulate the data in the Tables. For example, a query can search for and modify the rental price for all the old movies.

 

Query Views: Design and Datasheet

The Design View helps you select the tables and work with the data. For example, the query on this page looks at the Movies table and counts the movies by the Genre. The Datasheet View displays the records in the Movie Table.

 

Query Options: Query Types

Select Queries look for records that match your criteria. Say you wanted to find the movies released before 1999.

 

Action Queries change or update the data.

The Action queries include:

Make Table

Append (Add new records)

Update (Modify the records)

Crosstab (Analyze the records)

Delete

 

Keep going...
