 Create a New Query
• Create > Query Design
• Close the ‘Show Tables’ screen
• Switch to SQL view
– upper left-hand corner
• Type the following into the SQL window (Access
will default to SELECT;):
SELECTDepartment, Buyer
FROM SKU_DATA;
• Click RUN
1-17
 Specific Columns on One Table
SELECT Department, Buyer
FROM SKU_DATA;

 Modify Query…

…so it return the results listing

buyer first and then department?

1-19
 Specifying Column Order
SELECT Buyer, Department
FROM SKU_DATA;

What do you notice about the data returned that’s kind of weird?

Select DISTINCT Field1, Field2, Field3

FROM TABLE;

1-21

1-22
 Modify Query…

In-Class Activity
Part II

1-25
 The WHERE Clause
• A query Must have SELECT and FROM
clauses
– Not a super interesting query though
• We can add a WHERE clause to restrict
the rows (records/tuples) that are returned
– Add conditions

1-26
 The WHERE Clause
• SQL SELECT statement.
– SELECT {ColumnName(s)}
– FROM {TableName(s)}
– WHERE {Conditions};

1-27
 SQL for Data Retrieval:
Comparison Criteria
• The WHERE clause match criteria may
include
– Equals “=“
– Not Equals “<>”
– Greater than “>”
– Less than “<“
– Greater than or Equal to “>=“
– Less than or Equal to “<=“

3-28
 Modify Query…

…so it only returns records for the

Water Sports department?

1-29
 Specific Rows from One Table
SELECT *
FROM SKU_DATA
WHERE Department = 'Water Sports';
NOTE: SQL wants a plain ASCII single quote: ' NOT ‘ !

 Write a New Query
• Selects SKU_Description and Buyer (in
that order) from the SKU_DATA table

1-31
 Specific Columns and Rows from

 ORDER BY
• We can control the order of the columns
(fields) in the SELECT but what if we
want to control the order of the records
(sorting)
• SQL SELECT statement.
SELECT {ColumnName(s)}
FROM {TableName(s)}
WHERE {Conditions}
ORDER BY {ColumnName(s)};
1-33
 Add ORDER BY
Update the query below so it
sorts the records by
OrderNumber

SELECT *
FROM ORDER_ITEM;
