In this movie we continue to look at features of SQL, in particular numeric functions and the group by clause. I have also uploaded this movie to youtube. Again I've used a huge font so that it is still readable at 320x240.
In this guide you'll get an introduction to basic SELECT queries. I've used a really large font for the application, I've done this so that I could put the video on YouTube and have people still able to read the SQL statements and results, which you can watch here. I had to speed up the YouTube video to fit it under the 10 minute limit (it's 6% faster).

Here we will write a small "customer tracking" application. This movie is aimed at beginners introducing the TClientDataSet component. It will hopefully be the first in a series.
