SELECT statement with MS Access SQL - Qomplainerz - 07-27-2023
Example:
SELECT employee_id, first_name, job_title
FROM employees
WHERE job_title = 'Manager';
Let's break down the SQL code:
SELECT: This keyword indicates that we want to retrieve data from the table.
employee_id, first_name, job_title: These are the columns we want to retrieve data from.
We specified three columns: "employee_id," "first_name," and "job_title."
FROM: This keyword indicates the table from which we want to retrieve data.
In this case, we want data from the "employees" table.
WHERE: This optional keyword is used for filtering the rows.
We can specify a condition to retrieve only those rows that satisfy the given condition.
job_title = 'Manager': This is the condition specified in the WHERE clause.
It means we only want to retrieve rows where the "job_title" column has the value "Manager."
When you run this SQL code as a query in Microsoft Access, it will return a result set containing the "employee_id," "first_name," and "job_title" columns for all employees who have the job title "Manager." The result will be displayed in the Datasheet View, showing only the relevant information based on the specified condition.
