- Some Basic Database Terminologies
- file, table, field, record, primary key et.c
A computer system organizes data in a hierarchy that begins with the bit, which represents either a 0 or a 1. Bits can then be grouped to form a byte which represents one character, number, or symbol. Bytes can be grouped to form a field, and related fields can be grouped to form a record.
Below are some basic database terminologies;
1. Field: This is a portion of a record, for example, name, age, class, registration number, etc. It is actually a column on a datasheet, and it defines a data type for a set of values in a table.
2. Record: This is a collection of fields in a database such as student’s name, age, class, etc. A record is made up of one or more keys. It is actually a row on a datasheet and it is a set of values defined by fields.
