| Queries select records from one or more
tables in a database so they can be viewed, analyzed, and sorted on a
common datasheet. The resulting collection of records, called a dynaset
(short for dynamic subset), is saved as a database object and can
therefore be easily used in the future. The query will be updated
whenever the original tables are updated. Types of queries are select
queries that extract data from tables based on specified values, find
duplicate queries that display records with duplicate values for one
or more of the specified fields, and find unmatched queries display
records from one table that do not have corresponding values in a second table. |
