A field is a single item of information about a person, place, or thing, such as a name, a salary amount, or a Social Security number. A record is a group of related fields that contain all of the necessary data about a specific person, place, or thing. An individual student is an example of one record. A group of related records is a table. A student table in a database would contain all of the data stored for each student at a college. Each student record in the student table contains the same fields, such as student ID, first name, last name, and so forth.
