MS Access
Is it good practice to create "chains" of queries (which use data from other queries, which use data from other queries etc.) to produce a final table of results or is it better to use a series of action queries which are run in a particular order to create a table and manipulate the data in it?For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability
RE: MS Access
Hi StuartThe problem of Action Queries is that the action is permanent. So a Make Table query creates a physical table in your database.
Chains of queries are more useful because, while slow, do not change the look of the database.
You should never create a table as a one off, but create it if you are going to make use of it regularly.
Hope this helps
