 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.
WHAT'S NEW HERE?
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.
OUR LATEST PROMOTION ::
A database can contain more than one table, each
with a unique name. These tables can be related or
independent from one another.
A subset of data extracted from one or more tables
is called a recordset (or a DataSet in ASP.NET). A
recordset is also a table because it’s a collection
of records that share the same columns. |
