Expert Solution
Step 1

Types of SQL queries

  • The select query is the simplest query and is also most commonly used one in Microsoft Access database.
  • It can be used to select and display data from either one table or a series of tables.
  • After the select query is called, it creates a virtual table where data can be changed.
  • An example of select query is

                SELECT CustomerName, City FROM Customers;

  • Action queries are very popular in data management.
  • When the action query is called, the database undergoes a specific action depending on what was specified in the query itself.
