Advanced Database Units 3-5
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Filter by selection | a filter technique that lets you select all or part of a field value and then display only those records that match the selected value |
| Find | allows you to search a table or query datasheet, or a form, to locate a specific field, value or part of a field value |
| Sort | is the process of rearranging records in a specified order or sequence |
| Descending | sorting from high to low or Z to A |
| Filter | is a set of restrictions you place on the records in an open datasheet or form to temporarily isolate a subset of the records |
| Filter by form | a filtering technique that changes the datasheet to display empty fields and select from a list value. The filter then shows values that match that selection. |
| Ascending | sorting from low to high or A to Z |
| Advanced filter | used when you want to filter records with more flexibility |
| Wildcards | used when you know only a part of the search value. * |
| Recordset | the datasheet that is the result of a query |
| Select query | a query in which you specify the fields and records you want to select |
| QBE (Query By Example) | using a grid to form queries where fields can be added, sorted, compared, etc.) |
| Query | a question you ask about the data in a database and Access displays the records or fields that answer that question |
| Group by operators | divides the selected records into groups based on the values in the specified field |
| Logical operators | in a query, an operator that allows you to combine two or more conditions (AND, OR, NOT) |
| NOT | a logical operator that negates a criterion or selects all of the records that do not match the criterion |
| Aggregate function | perform arithmetic operations on selected records in a database |
| Calculated field | a field that displays the result of an expression. For example, you can create a field that would calculate Discount Price |
| AND | the logical operator you use in a query when you want a record selected only if two or more conditions are met (for example if you query "car" and "red", you would get a Red Mustang) |
| Comparison operators | in a query, an operator that is used to compare records and to select all the record for which the relationship is true |
| OR | a logical operator that you use in a query when you want to select records that match at least one of the criterion (for example, if you query "car" or "red", you could get a red apple |
| Autoformat | a predefined style that you can apply to a form for a report |
| Conditional formatting | is special formatting that can be applied to certain field values depending on one or more conditions in a report or form |
| Control | is an item on a form, report, or other database object that you can manipulate to modify the object’s appearance |
| Form wizard | a tool that ask you a series of questions, and then creates a form based on your answers |
| Layout view | an Access view in which you can make design changes to a form or report while it is displaying data so that you can immediately see the effect of changing the design |
| Main form | in a form based on two table, the form that contains data from the primary table |
| Report wizard | a tool that asks you a series of questions, and then creates a report based on your answers |
| Subform | a form within a form based on two tables, the form that contains data from the related table |
