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.
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.
A database can contain more than one table, each with a unique
name. These tables can be related or independent from one
another.
