What are the different types of queries?

Queries can be categorized into several types based on their purpose and structure. The primary types include select queries, which retrieve data from databases; action queries, which modify data (like insert, update, or delete); parameter queries, which prompt users for input to filter results; and aggregate queries, which perform calculations on a set of values, such as summing or averaging. Additionally, there are join queries, which combine data from multiple tables based on related columns.
