Caution
The procedures we will be using only work with relational
databases. This is because of how relational databases are
constructed. The elements of a relational database are unique.
(The primary key insures this uniqueness.) That is, there are no
two elements which are exactly alike. This allows us to select
specific elements to place into our queries. Without the
elements of the relational database being unique from all other
elements, we could not perform these procedures.
Step 1: Open the first query in Design View.
Click Create Query in Design View.
Step 2: Add tables.

Tip
Move the cursor over the bottom edge of the fuel table (Figure

the bottom of the table to make it longer and easier to see all of
the fields in the table.
