About the Book
Structured
Query Language (SQL) is the industry standard database programming
language. It is used to create databases, manipulate and retrieve data,
and to provide security for
relational databases. Some of the
more popular Database Management Systems (DBMSs) that implement SQL include
Microsoft Access, Microsoft
SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL. If you
manage data or plan to work in a field managing data, you should make
learning SQL a priority.
SQL for Microsoft Access 2nd Edition unlocks the power of Structured Query Language (SQL) in Microsoft Access. It guides the reader through step-by-step examples of creating a database in Microsoft Access using SQL script to create tables, add records to tables, and retrieve and manage records using simple to advanced data manipulation techniques including queries and views. The reader also encounters examples of integrating SQL script into VBA and ASP code.
