This course focuses on the role of the database designer in the specification and creation of queries and will cover Access queries in detail. Covering both the theory and practicalities of query design this course takes the delegates through the various queries available in Access. It will explain the theory and practical elements of select, multi-table and action queries, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of this particular type of Access object.

Having designed and created perfect tables to ensure that data has been entered consistently, a logical progression is to create Queries to select and manipulate the data. Users typically either struggle or rely on technical IT users to create queries for data analysis. Being able to create ad-hoc statistics or simple selection criteria for others; and understanding how to query any database is an advantageous skill set.!
