Given the query output on the following pages, can you recreate those queries?
In the test, you will be asked to describe in detail what you would do to produce such a query.
Your answer does not need to be a keystroke by keystroke account but more like you were telling a user
over the phone exactly what to do (the user at the other end of the phone does not have any of the
documentation you see before you).
You can practice using the files in IBC233LIB.
