Foil 11 Access SQL - I

From Overview of Microsoft Access used with Active Server Pages(ASP) CPS616 Technologies of Information Age -- Spring 1998. by Nancy McCracken and Sangetta Aggarwal


1 The textual query definition is done using SQL (Structured Query Language), a non-procedural data access language.
2 Access SQL support a subset of SQL-89 and some elements of the newer SQL-92 standard.
3 Most of Access SQL directly maps to Access QBE (Query by Example) in both directions. Queries can be constructed using QBE and viewed in SQL by switching to SQL view. Queries can also be directly entered using SQL view.
4 SQL Statements:
  • The SELECT Statement: The most basic and main statement of SQL. It queries select rows of data and returns them as a dynaset recordset.
  • Syntax: SELECT column-list
  • FROM table-list
  • [WHERE where-clause]
  • [ORDER BY order-by-clause];
