Microsoft Access
Creating queries exercise
Relatively easy

This Microsoft Access CREATING QUERIES exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to assess their suitability for the Wise Owl BASIC QUERYING IN ACCESS course only, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Exercise: Sorting billiionaires

A full answer to this exercise is provided as part of the training course!

1) Download the files needed to start this exercise: exercise-708.zip (and click here if you experience any problems unzipping this file after downloading it).
2) Open the database in the above folder.
3) Use sorting in queries to satisfy yourself that:
  • Saleh Bin Abdul Aziz Al Rajhi is the oldest billionaire in the list of billionaires
  • Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair & family are the first in alphabetical order
4) Close down any queries that you have created without saving them.
5) Create a query which lists the billionaires in order of date of birth.  Why doesn't this work?
Exercise screen-shot 1498 This quite clearly is not correct
6) Save this query as DodgyDates, then close it down.

Thank you for showing an interest in this Basic Querying in Access training course! As mentioned above, full answers to this and other exercises are provided on the course. On all Wise Owl scheduled courses delegates can take away these model answers (together with their own efforts!) on a free USB stick.
