Learn how to use your databases for real business tasksPindar has worked on hundreds of business databases and operational systems for the last 18 years. In this book, he provides actual scenarios and code you can use in your daily business situations. Actually, you will get many ideas of how to employ Access to get data in ways you were not aware it was possible. Some examples, especially in the beginning of each chapter are quite simple so that readers with less Access experience can follow and learn but they are definitely not simplistic.
Leave superfluous theory on the side and focus on the essence of your operations You might be taught a thousand pieces of theory and politically correct techniques on databases. In the end, what you will need is a way to accomplish your task.
This book will show you exactly the concepts you should learn and expand on them in detail. Theory is present but only to support a practical technique; not for the sake of it. Concentrate on holistic solutions and not clustered technical skills This book leaves behind the classical format of texts.
Instead of providing multiple and isolated concepts, it combines the necessary techniques to arrive to a real world solution. For example, instead of just showing what a date function is, it demonstrates how it can be used in combination with clauses and other functions to obtain order processing cycle times or order fulfillment goals for your corporation. At the end of the day, when you read a book, you need to be able to use your knowledge to achieve a task.
The business table of contentsYou will find a novelty in this book which is its business table of contents. There are two tables of contents in this book. There is the classical one to find what you need on database concepts. However, there is also a business table of contents you can consult to find the business solution you need. For example, how to conditionally update product prices from multiple suppliers and by various percentages.

Data is at the center of many challenges in system design today. Difficult issues need to be figured out, such as scalability, consistency, reliability, efficiency, and maintainability.
In addition, we have an overwhelming variety of tools, including relational databases, NoSQL datastores, stream or batch processors, and message brokers. What are the right choices for your application? How do you make sense of all these buzzwords? Like a sentence, a SQL statement has clauses. Each clause performs a function for the SQL statement. The following table lists the most common SQL clauses. Each SQL clause is composed of terms — comparable to parts of speech.
The following table lists types of SQL terms. A combination of identifiers, operators, constants, and functions that evaluates to a single value. Access ignores line breaks in a SQL statement. However, consider using a line for each clause to help improve the readability of your SQL statements for yourself and others.
The semi-colon can appear at the end of the last clause or on a line by itself at the end of the SQL statement. The following illustrates what a SQL statement for a simple select query might look like in Access:. This example SQL statement reads "Select the data that is stored in the fields named E-mail Address and Company from the table named Contacts, specifically those records in which the value of the field City is Seattle.
If an identifier contains spaces or special characters such as "E-mail Address" , it must be enclosed in square brackets. A SELECT clause does not have to say which tables contain the fields, and it cannot specify any conditions that must be met by the data to be included. More information about how you use these clauses is presented in these additional articles:.
Like Microsoft Excel, Access lets you sort query results in a datasheet. An ORDER BY clause contains a list of the fields that you want to use for sorting, in the same order that you want to apply the sort operations. For example, suppose that you want your results sorted first by the value of the field Company in descending order, and — if there are records with the same value for Company — sorted next by the values in the field E-mail Address in ascending order.
Note: By default, Access sorts values in ascending order A-Z, smallest to largest. Use the DESC keyword to sort values in descending order instead. Sometimes you want to work with summarized data, such as the total sales in a month, or the most expensive items in an inventory. For example, if you want your query to show the count of e-mail addresses listed for each company, your SELECT clause might resemble the following:.
The aggregate functions that you can use depend on the type of data that is in the field or expression that you want to use. For more information about the available aggregate functions, see the article SQL Aggregate Functions. If you want to use criteria to limit your results, but the field that you want to apply criteria to is used in an aggregate function, you cannot use a WHERE clause.
For example, if you only want the query to return rows if there are more than one e-mail addresses associated with the company, the HAVING clause might resemble the following:. When you want to review all the data that is returned by several similar select queries together, as a combined set, you use the UNION operator.
