Database Terms - Queries, Forms

Query: Data resulting from questions you ask of one or more tables.

Example: Show me a list of the female students in Mr. Emerson's class.

Form: A form is a graphical user interface used to enter (and view) data. Forms usually display one record at a time and contain blank fields, allowing easy data entry.

Example: A new student arrives at Great Lake Elementary School. Using a form, the administrative assistant enters the student's information into the Great Lake Elementary School Database. The new data is now stored in the database.
