Understanding SQL Fundamentals in Microsoft Access

In this video, I guide you through the foundational aspects of SQL that you need to understand, particularly in the context of Microsoft Access. I start by illustrating how the query by example grid accomplishes most tasks, but also highlight the importance of not getting complacent with this tool. As we dive deeper, we explore the Select statement, illustrating how it functions, and what happens when you want to select more than one field or all fields. We also look at how to effectively use the Where clause to filter your data.

One of the video's highlights is a comprehensive explanation of joining tables, the backbone of relational databases. Here, we explore how to construct an inner join, a left join, and a right join, demonstrating how each is represented in SQL and what they mean for your data. At the end of this video, you'll have a more profound understanding of SQL and its application across different systems.
