Fall Term, 2005, BA271 Query Exam

Instructions:

  • This link leads to the Access database you should use when practicing this query quiz.
  • Your queries should be named Answer1, Answer2, Answer3, and Answer4. They should have identical column headings and number formatting as the images shown and described below.
  • The data in your database will be different from the data in my database when I captured the images shown below. Thus, your queries should have the same column headings and formatting, but they will produce a different number of rows and different values.

Answer1: Which Customers have placed the most orders?
  • Company Name should come from the Customers table.
  • Make this a "Top 5" query that is sorted in descending order based on Count of Orders, a calculated field that lists how many orders each Customer has placed.


Answer2: How much product was sold in the last two months of 1995 from each Supplier?
  • Company Name should come from the Suppliers table.
  • Total Sales should be calculated from the Order Details table as Unit Price times Quantity.
  • Limit the attention of the query to November and December 1995 based on the Shipped Date.
  • Make sure only one row appears for each Supplier in the query.
  • Either do not sort the query (the default), or sort it in ascending order based on Company Name (which results in the same thing).


Answer3: Which employee has given the largest discounts on products sold in Italy?
  • First and Last Name should come from the Employee table.
  • Country should come from the Customer table.
  • Discount should come from the Order Details table. 
  • Sort the query in descending order based on Maximum Discount.


Answer4: How much Tofu has each Shipper delivered to Mexico, Canada, and the USA?
  •  Company Name should come from the Shipper table.
  •  Total Quantity is calculated from the Order Details table.
  • Ship Country should come from the Orders table.
