Exam 77-424: Microsoft Access 2013
3.0 Create Queries
3.1 Create a Query: Create Delete Queries

The Last Action Query

A Delete Query does exactly what the name spells out: It deletes data. As mentioned earlier, deleting data is not the best practice for a database administrator. However, this option may be better than marking bad records as archived.

 

The following example will use a copy of the Movie Table to test the Delete Query.

 

1. Try it: Create a New Query

Go to Create ->Queries ->Query Design.
You will be prompted by the Show Table.

Select a Table: Copy of tblMovies 04-16-2014.
Click Add and Close the Show/Table Window.

Try This, Too: Add Fields
Add these Fields to the QBE Grid: MovieID, Movie, Year, Rating, Genre, Stars and RentalPriceID.

And Try This: Add a Criteria
Select a Field: Year.
Enter a Criteria: <1990
 

Do This, Now: Run the Select Query

Did this Query select 73 Records?
