MultiValue Query Language: Sourcebook

The MultiValue Query Language: Sourcebook accompanies those volumes in our This is... series of books which deal with the Access, AQL, ENGLISH, Info/Access, jQL, RetrieVe, and UniQuery query language on MultiValue systems, and presents a series of case studies and illustrative examples for anyone who is learning to use the query language.

The material also enables the Trainee to develop approaches, ideas and strategies for producing query language solutions to business problems.

The material in the book is suitable for use with any dialect of the MultiValue query language

The MultiValue Sourcebook series of publications was designed with several types of reader in mind:

• The Instructor who is designing a training course in aspects of the MultiValue system and needs illustrative examples of the basic material

• Individuals who are extending their knowledge of some aspects of a MultiValue system

The current edition of MultiValue Query Language: Sourcebook includes Chapters on:

• Some useful definitions

• Exploiting correlatives

• Writing F correlatives

• Writing a HEADING/FOOTING clause

• Age of stock

• A bicycle without a pump

• Handling data held in external format

• MAXIMA & MINIMA on Access reports

• Percentages on Access reports

• Multivalues & the Query Language

• Multivalues & dictionary records

• Reporting from 2 or more files

• Simulating BREAK-SUP modifiers

• Welsh sorting

• WITHIN & Bill-of-materials processing

• Calculating ages & elapsed time

The material is based on that which I use on my own Training Courses, and is the result of many years' adding, extending and changing the material to suit the real needs of the Trainee.

Some of the material has appeared on my MB-Cyclopædia for Pick & MultiValue systems website
