Querying a Database
After creating a table and filling it up with some values, you can explore them. One way you can do this consists of isolating records based on specific conditions. This technique of isolating records is also referred to as filtering. To filter records of a table and display the results to the user, you have various alternatives.
Data filtering is performed using the SQL and other means provided by Microsoft Access. To filter data, you can either create a query or write a SQL statement.

Operations on Data Analysis
The techniques we used in the last three lessons to analyze data consisted of identifying a value in a particular field and using that value as a basis for filtering. Microsoft Access provides another technique that allows you to select a value from a column and use that value to isolate one or more records.
