All the processing power of your SQL server is disregarded - the client workstation where Access is being run is bearing the brunt of all processing. Furthermore, Access is doing all the processing. Afterwards, the tables will be joined and the query's WHERE clause will be applied, limiting the results to only those records where Orders.ShipCountry = 'USA'. Using our example, this means that the complete Orders, Customers, and Employees tables will be returned from SQL Server into Access. So, you may ask, 'What is wrong with this query? Well, it all comes down to what I mentioned earlier: Access will load the entire data set prior to filtering the data and returning the results. Now if you run the query as-is (via either selecting Query | Run from the menu bar or by clicking on the button the following results are displayed. The Access Query Designer should look something like this: Select to sort the results by 'Company Name' and to limit the results to only those where the Ship Country is 'USA'. The Access Query Designer is very similar to the one you find incorporated into SQL Server.Дouble-click the fields as follows in order to load them into the query: I have altered the tables' graphical placement and size for presentation purposes, but your screen should be similar. What you will see next is a query screen that looks something like what is presented below. Next, click the 'Add' button to begin designing the query.

Once the 'Show Table' interface displays, then select the three tables: dbo_Orders, dbo_Customers, and dbo_Employees. Select the 'Create query in Design view' option on the right pane of the window. You should see a form similar to what is displayed below. Select 'Queries' under the 'Objects' menu on the left side of the main Access interface. Let's take a minute to create a basic Access query against the dbo_Orders, dbo_Customers, and dbo_Employees tables first. The 'Tables' listing should look something like what you see below.

If you have been following along with this tip series on Microsoft Access and SQL Server integration then you should have an Access database with the following linked tables to an instance on your SQL Server for the 2005 Northwind database.

By the time you have finished reading this tip you will know precisely how to create one. This is called a Pass-Through Query in Microsoft Access. Microsoft Access gives you the ability to issue the query created in Access directly against the SQL Server database, using T-SQL commands. Imagine the implications of querying a large table or data set comprised of multiple tables in Access against a linked SQL Server record source in your environment! There has to be a better way! When querying a linked table, Access will return/load the entire table into Access before parsing the WHERE or HAVING clauses. At this point you can use the linked tables as you would any other native Access table.

Thus far in this tips series on Access and SQL Server we have created an ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) using the OLEDB driver, created a System DSN for the new SNAC (SQL Native Client) driver and created linked tables in Access by using the SNAC DSN.
