The building block of a database is the record. A record is a
collection of related data treated as a single entity.
For example, a hockey trading card could be called a record: it brings
together the name, photograph, team.
And statistics of one player. Using database terms, each of these
related pieces of information is called a field.
Each hockey card “record” has a name field, a photograph field, a team
field, and various statistic fields.
INTRODUCTION TO OUR WEB SITE
A collection of records that share the same fields is called
a table because this kind of information can easily be presented in
table format.
Each column represents a field and each row represents a record.
In fact, the word column is synonymous with the word field, and the
word row is synonymous with the word record.
A database can contain more than one table, each with a unique name.
These tables can be related or independent from one another. |
