Q-16 What is a query?
Ans: A query is a database object that creates a datasheet of specified records form one or more
tables. One of the rasons you store rlated data in tables is to analyze it form different perspectives. To
do this, you use a query to view only the fields with the required information.
Q-17 Explain the parts of a query window.
Ans:Query window is dividd into two panes: the top pane contains the table(s) selected for the query
and the bottom pane contains the design grid.
Q-18 What do you understand by Criteria?
Ans:Criteria a mean By using criteria, you can easily accomplish any of these tasks, and many more.
This mean that both conditions must be true in order for the records to appear. While these criteria are
all fairly simple, each one can help you carry out meaningful searches.s
