Welcome to the Higher Administration blog of Mr McGowan.

It is the intention of this blog to be an additional and flexible resource allowing pupils to have more say in how, what and when they learn.

Higher Admin is challenging. But by using technology we can make it more accessible.

Do you wish a practice Nab for ITFM Outcome 3?

Queries in a Database

Remember a good tip is to add ALL the tables into the query and then you look for the fields required.

The Wildcard *

Remember the 2006 Exam example. In searching for G postcodes you would use G* in the Criteria box.

Query using OR

If you are looking for two items in the same field use OR. For example, if you wish to look for Branches in London and Birmingham, then typing in the Criteria box London OR Birmingham would return the correct results.

Query using AND

If you need items in different fields, then Access does it automatically for you.
