In "A Tour Through Results," you learned some basics of the Query module. Specifically, you learned how to query and modify a database. This chapter provides more information about the tasks you can perform in the Query module.
The following topics are discussed:
- Menu options in the Query module.
- Updating records and copying records.
- Switching to other forms.
- Using the Query option to select a subset of the records in a file.
- Using the Where option to select a subset of the records in a file. Also, how to use Expert Mode to build and edit WHERE clauses.
- Displaying file relation information with the Info option.
- Transferring to another module without returning to the Main Menu with the Module option.
- Displaying the number of records in a full set or subset of records with the Total option.
- Changing the order that records appear in the window with the Order option.
NOTE: Several of the Query module options are described in the tour in "A Tour Through Results," and they are not described in this chapter. The steps in this chapter build upon what you learned in the tour of Results. You should complete or review the tour before continuing with this chapter.This chapter assumes that the Query module is available in your Results package. If it is not, see your database administrator. For information on how to control permissions and options in the Query module, see Database Administration."
