Basing Forms and Reports on Queries or Embedded SQL Statements
You can base the record source for a form or report on a table object, a query object, or a SQL statement. By basing forms and reports on stored queries or embedded SQL statements, you can improve the performance and flexibility of your applications. In most cases, you don't need to display all fields and all records on a form or report. By basing a form or report on a query or embedded SQL statement, you can better limit the data transferred over the network. These benefits are most pronounced in a client/server environment. When you base a form or report on a table object, Access sends a SQL statement that retrieves all fields and all records from the database server. On the other hand, if the record source for the form or report is a query or embedded SQL statement, the server returns to the workstation just the fields and records specified within the query.An Access 2007 form or report based on a stored query or SQL statement is very efficient. This is the case because when you save a query (or in the case of an embedded SQL statement, the form or report), the Access Database Engine creates a Query Plan. This plan contains information on the most efficient method of executing the query. When you save a query or form or report based on an embedded SQL statement, the Access Database Engine looks at the volume of data and the available indexes, determines the optimal method of executing the query, and stores the method as the Query Plan. The Microsoft Database Engine uses this plan whenever it executes a query underlying a form or report. It is up to you whether you use a stored query or an embedded SQL statement as the foundation for your forms and reports. There are advantages and disadvantages to each method. With a stored query, the upside is that multiple forms and reports can use the same query. The downside is that you have another object to manage in the Navigation Pane. With an embedded SQL statement, the advantage is that the SQL is stored neatly with the form or report that it is associated with. The downside is that if multiple forms and reports share the same SQL statement, you will need to maintain each separately. My rule is that, when I feel that the query will be reused by other forms and reports, I create a query. When I feel that the query is unique to the form or report I am creating, I create an embedded SQL statement.
