Sample Queries
The Nwind sample database provided on CD with Manifold System is a version of the standard
Microsoft Northwind.mdb database that is provided with Microsoft Access. It contains numerous tables and
queries that may be used to learn database and query concepts.
This topic lists queries that are part of the Nwind database, with some minor adjustments for Manifold SQL.
