It is not exclusive to Access. The term query is generally a way to ask a database a question. The term existed before Access was invented. Other examples of where it is used is SQL which stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is used in various database applications, including Microsoft Access. There are variations of how it is used in different applications.
Run the query. If in Design view you can do that by clicking on the red exclamation mark. If you go to the window and open the query directly, it will run.
Use the YEAR function, which can extract the year of a date. If your field was DOB in the query you'd have MONTH(DOB) in the field row of the query.
A complex Query is a quiery that is much more complex than a normal quiery so search up complex then quiry!!!!
The relationships between database applications DBMS and databases is as follows: Databases can be simple or complex. simple databases can be kept in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or they can be maintained in a user generated Microsoft Access database which can be programmed to query certain data that has been entered into that database over a period of time. Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access are also applications that are used to build databases that can be incorporated into DBMS or Database Management Systems. These systems can be extremely complex or they can be simple meaning that maintenance to these systems is not demanding. If the DBMS is complex it may require an entire team of technicians and in some cases engineers.The relationship between users, database applications, databases, and Database Management Systems can be simplified even further - Users can access a database that has been created with a database application to query managed data that is a part of a uniform Database management system.
What you seem to be describing is a Query. Databases run queries when the humans want information out of the database. Microsoft Access has a separate Table structure for creating and running Query. The correct answer is called a Run. (report)
A query is in basic terms a QUESTION. Therefore when you make and run a query in access you are asking it questions to do with the data it has in the dataset. I.e In the last name field you may ask for all people who meet the criteria of SMITH as the last name. Queries can be very complex depending on what youve stored in the database and what your asking of it.
