For example, in SQL, a query might look like this: &#8220;SELECT * FROM Clients WHERE Region = &#8216;Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes&#8217; AND Purchase Amount > 100&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Microsoft Access, to perform a select query, you must open your Access database, go to the &#8220;Design&#8221; tab in the &#8220;Queries&#8221; section of the interface. Then, select the &#8220;Clients&#8221; table in the &#8220;View Table&#8221; pane and click &#8220;Add&#8221;. Next, drag fields such as &#8220;Last Name&#8221;, &#8220;First Name&#8221;, &#8220;Age&#8221;, and &#8220;City&#8221; from the &#8220;Clients&#8221; table into the design grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To refine your query, you can specify criteria. For example, in the &#8220;Criteria&#8221; row under the &#8220;Age&#8221; field, you could type &#8220;>30&#8221; to select only customers over 30 years old. Finally, to execute the query, simply click the &#8220;Run&#8221; button in the ribbon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories-glossary":[313],"class_list":["post-163890","dictionnaire-dico","type-dictionnaire-dico","status-publish","hentry","categories-glossary-data-analytics-marketing-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dictionnaire-dico\/163890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dictionnaire-dico"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/dictionnaire-dico"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categories-glossary","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories-glossary?post=163890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
