Using Queries to Examine Your Data
Learn about another, more powerful tool provided by Access--queries. Like filters, Access queries let you select specific data from your table. However, queries are much more powerful than filters. By the time you finish this tutorial, you will understand the following key concepts: what queries are, what types of queries Access lets you create, how Access stores queries, how to use the Query Wizards, how to design your own queries, how to use the QBE grid and how to set properties in a query.

Regarding queries in ms access, while converting to mysql
Currently I am working on a project to convert ms access back end to mysql back end. Front end is still going to be ms access. The backend which is currently held in ms access is a different file, meaning front and back ends aren't in one mdb. Now i heard alot of suggestions about converting access tables to mysql tables, but not much discussions are held about queries. My questions are: (1) I have around 30-40 queries , querying forms, subforms & reports. Should i convert them to mysql queries or should i just leave it the way it is. (2) Will converting queries to mysql queries increase/decrease the speed. (3) How efficient are ms access queries. i find them extremely friendly to work around and i can create any query using its design view or with sql very fast. (4) also off the topic are there any tools that can be used to show the time taken by each forms or queries to run and load in ms access...

Do Stored Queries Increase the Speed of Access Queries?
Having mentioned the ability to execute stored Access database queries from ASP via ADO in a thread at SitePoint Forums, Dave Maxwell asked what the speed difference was (if any) between these stored queries and traditional hardcoded dynamic queries. I had to confess that I didn't know, but I said that I would find out. This article is the result of the research that followed ...

Microsoft Access Stored Queries and VBscript
Microsoft Access is a very commonly used database, and enables its users to run queries on the database contents. More than that Microsoft Access allows users to store useful queries meaning that the queries can be rerun whenever required without the need to rewrite them. This is also useful for any programmers who can run queries on the database rather than write them into their applications. If the programmer is using VBScript they can even write a script that will create the queries automatically.

Microsoft Access Queries Tutorial
In MS Access you can use queries to extract information (data) from one (or more) tables (or from other queries). The information you retrieve can be limited by the definition of your query. In access queries are database objects that can be used to retrieve a subset of data.

Queries in MS Access
Is there any way to write queries in access like you could in SQL? Eg. JOIN, GROUP, SELECT etc. It's just I have linked a MySQL database to it and I need to run some queries so I can output the data how I want it. It would probably require some VB work though? Any nice tutorials on the matter would be great

Microsoft Access Query Operators
Queries are a very important feature of Microsoft Access that can tell you information about the data stored in the Access tables. Queries make it easier to search the data from different fields. Therefore, using queries to achieve the results you are looking for is quite a useful tool. However, when you have large amounts of information, you will need more advanced techniques such as Boolean Operators to make sense of the queries you have inputted.

Microsoft Access for Beginners Part III: Writing the Queries
A database storing every bit of knowledge you could ever need wouldn't be of much use without some way to retrieve the data. After I create the tables, my next step is usually to create the forms for the database but first I need to provide some information on queries. Many of the queries that you use will actually be created automatically as you design forms and reports which often use them to obtain the required data. You may never even notice them. If you do any significant amount of work with Access, however, you will need to know how to construct queries for those times when you need something specific.

Working with Queries
Queries are the stars of Microsoft Access. Queries make sense out of all the thousands of jumbled records and display exactly what you need to know. Queries discover things like what the average price of tea in China is or which customers bought the most parakeet food from your company. Queries can even make widespread changes to the records in your database without wearing out your mouse and keyboard! For example, a delete query can automatically delete a whole bunch of records that meet your criteria.

Creating a Delete Query in Microsoft Access
A Microsoft Access delete query deletes records from a single database table or database tables. Of all of the different action queries available in Microsoft Access (Append Queries, Update Queries, Make-Table Queries and Delete Queries) the delete query is one of the most dangerous. Unlike the others mentioned, the Microsoft Access delete query will remove records from your tables permanently and forever. As with the other types of action queries, the delete query will work with a group of records that meet a specified criteria that you apply. You can use the delete query to remove all records or only records that meet the defined criteria.

Creating Action Queries - Update, Append and Delete Queries
Most Microsoft Access database users will use database queries to request or question information from one or more of your database tables. In Microsoft Access certain queries can also be used to change data as well as display or retrieve it. These queries, defined as Microsoft Action queries, will allow the user to update data (Update Query), delete data (Delete Query) or add data from one database table to another (Append Query).

Pass-through Queries in Access 2003/XP/2000/97
A Pass-through query allows you to execute an SQL statement directly against the tables in an external database (such as an Oracle, Sybase, or SQL Server database). This method uses your ODBC connection to directly access the data in the external database without having to link to the tables or import the data from the external database. This tutorial will demonstrate how to create pass-through queries as well as how to integrate pass-through queries with other queries in your Access database.

Using String Function in your Access SQL Queries
When writing our SQL queries in Access there may be times when we want to manipulate the data that is contained in the columns rather than just returning the whole column value. In this article the guys from SQL Book outline some useful functions that can be used in our SQL queries to manipulate string values and give some real world examples of them in use.

Microsoft Access Query Types
Queries are very useful tools when it comes to databases and they are often called by the user through a form. They can be used to search for and grab data from one or more of your tables, perform certain actions on the database and even carryout a variety of calculations depending on your needs. Luckily for us, Microsoft Access allows for many types of queries, some of the main ones being select, action, parameter and aggregate queries. They can be thought of as just another part of your database essentially an object like a table or a macro.

Progress Meter
When we process large volume of data in MS-Access for Reports it may take few minutes to several minutes to complete them, depending on the size of the transactions involved. We have to run VB Routines or several Action Queries, which takes data from other Queries or Tables, and sequence the process steps through Macros to complete them. If you have Queries of Select Type or Action Query that pulls data from Crosstab Queries and if large volume of transactions involved, it takes longer than the Normal Queries to prepare the output.
