What is a database, file, record, field, and data?
Answer (2)
Data Base: a structured set of data held in a computer, especially one that is accessible in various ways.
File: a folder or box for holding loose papers that are typically arranged in a particular order for easy reference. (this is for the computer and not like paper)
Record: a thing constituting a piece of evidence about the past, especially an account of an act or occurrence kept in writing or some other permanent form. (so like a past item)
Data: the quantities, characters, or symbols on which operations are performed by a computer, being stored and transmitted in the form of electrical signals and recorded on magnetic, optical, or mechanical recording media.
A database is a structured collection of data stored on a computer and organized in tables. Each record in the database contains fields that hold specific pieces of information, while data refers to the raw information itself. This system allows for efficient management and retrieval of information.
