Course 1 Module 02 Lesson 4

This document discusses non-procedural access to databases. It introduces the importance of being able to request data through queries without specifying procedural steps. Queries use languages like SQL to indicate what data to retrieve. Graphical tools also provide non-procedural access through forms, reports, and visual representations of the data. The document provides examples of a sample query, data entry form, and report to illustrate non-procedural database access.
