ACC: How to Rank Records Within a Query. Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills. This article has three examples that show you how to rank records within a query. The first example ranks records from a table. The second example ranks the results of a totals query. The third example demonstrates an alternative method of handling ties in ranking. All the examples in this article require a field containing a value that can be evaluated using either the GREATER THAN (>) or the LESS THAN (<) operator, and a subquery to count the number of records that are greater than or less than the current record.

NOTE: A demonstration of the technique used in this article can be seen in the sample file, Qrysmp97.exe. . ( ) ACC97: Microsoft Access 97 Sample Queries Available in Download Center In Example 1 and Example 2 below, records following a tie in ranking are given the same rank number they would have received had there been no tie. Example 1 Example 2 Example 3. Microsoft Access tips: Microsoft Access Tips for Serious Users Provided by Allen Browne, February 2008. Last updated: April 2010. JET does not have features to rank/number rows as some other SQL implementations do, so this article discusses some ways to do it. Numbering in a report To number records in a report, use the Sorting And Grouping to sort them in the correct order. You can then show a sequence number just by adding a text box with these properties: This is the easiest way to get a ranking, and also the most efficient to execute.

Numbering in a form To add a row number to the records in a form, see Stephen Lebans Row Number. This solution has the same advantage (fast) and disadvantage (handling tied results) as the report example above. Ranking in a query To handle tied results correctly, count the number of records that beat the current row. The example below works with the Northwind sample database. The example above starts ranking at zero. Limitations Ranking with a temporary table. Microsoft Access Delete Query, SQL Syntax, Examples and Errors. By Luke Chung, President of FMS Inc. (portions from the Access help file) Deleting Records with Microsoft Access Delete Queries A DELETE query is an action query (SQL statement) that deletes a set of records according to criteria (search conditions) you specify. It's a very powerful feature and a fundamental part of relational databases since you can remove multiple records at one time, and can specify which records to delete by linking to data in another table.

Understanding and using Delete Queries improves the performance of your applications (versus doing the same changes manually or in code), and makes them easier to maintain. From the Access designer, you can interactively create a query and specify its type: Delete Query Option when Designing Queries in MS Access 2013 Delete Query Option when Designing Queries in MS Access 2007 and 2010 Delete Queries let you: Contents DELETE Query SQL Syntax in Microsoft Access DELETE [DISTINCTROW] table.* FROM table [join] WHERE criteria Remarks Important.
