Q&A

• What are the essential criteria to consider when setting up queries? 🛠️

  It's crucial that customers meet all specified criteria to be included in results. You can set criteria on the same or separate rows to enforce 'and' or 'or' conditions. For example, the query checks for customers not from Raleigh with phone numbers starting with 919. Effective queries require careful planning and adherence to four key steps: pinpointing the question, identifying necessary information, locating relevant tables, and determining the criteria for inclusion.

• How can I filter query results to exclude customers from specific cities? 📞

  To exclude customers from Raleigh, you can use the 'Not In' syntax combined with quotes. Additionally, you can limit results to nearby towns by using area codes, employing the 'Like' syntax to match the beginning of phone numbers, specifically looking for those starting with the 919 area code.

• What modifications are needed for the join in the query? 📊

  You need to modify the join to include all records from the Orders table. This ensures that only customers with placed orders are included, and you may need to change the join direction to achieve the desired results while also setting criteria to filter out customers from Raleigh.

• How do you create a query using multiple tables? 🔍

  To create a query, access the 'Create' tab and select 'Query Design'. You then add the Customers and Orders tables to your query, selecting necessary fields like customer name, address, and phone number from the Customers table, along with Order IDs from the Orders table.

• What criteria are used to identify eligible customers for coupon distribution? 🔍

  Eligible customers must live in the designated area, be outside city limits, and have placed an order with the bakery. The relevant data includes names and contact information from the Customers table, along with order details from the Orders table.

• What is the first step in creating a multi-table query? 🎯
