Explanation

In database terminology, a field is the smallest unit of data storage that holds only one type of information. For example, in a customer database, 'Last Name' would be a field containing text data, while 'Birth Date' would be a field containing date data. Fields are grouped together to form a record (a complete set of data about one entity), and records are stored in files or tables.
