In-Depth Information
To demonstrate that the
OR
operator links both the criteria rows better, let's now add
a condition,
LIKE
'%8%'
, on the phone number.
By examining the positioning of the
AND
and
OR
operators, we can see that the first
row of the conditions is linked by the
AND
(because
AND
is chosen under the
name
column) operator, and the second row of conditions is linked to the rest by the
OR
operator. The condition we've just added (
LIKE
'%8%'
) is not meant to find anyone,
since, we changed the phone number of all the authors with the name "Smith" to
"444-5555" (in Chapter 12).
If we want another criterion on the same column, we just add a criteria row.
Adjusting the number of criteria rows
The number of criteria rows can be changed in two ways. First, we can select the
Ins
checkbox under
Criteria
to add one criteria row (after clicking on
Update Query
).
As this checkbox can add only one criteria row at a time, we'll uncheck it and use the
Add/Delete Criteria Row
dialog instead. In this dialog, we choose to add two rows.
