Question

define the following ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Field

In the phone book example, the four data categories of last name, first name, address and phone number are called "fields." A field is single unit of data that is unique within each entry/row, but the overall data category is common to all entries. For instance, "address" is a field that is common to all named entries in the phone book; however, the content of the address field will be unique for each named entry. As a guideline, a database field refers to the columns, or data categories, that are used by all entries/rows.

Record

A record is a row of a database, a horizontal grouping of fields; the content of those fields is unique to that row. In the phone book example, each last name begins a record/row which contains data in the name, address and phone number fields. A record is often used in a database search because each record has a unique, identifying quality (or value). A database record is, basically, a row that contains unique data in each of the fields. A database will usually contain a large number of records but only a small number of fields.
