<data, database> An ordered set of fields. The term is used in both files (where a record is also called a "line") and databases (where it is also called a "row"). In a spreadsheet it is always called a "row". In all these cases the records represent different entities with different values for the attributes represented by the fields.
Fields may be of a fixed width (bits or characters) or they may be separated by a delimiter character, often comma (CSV) or HT (TSV).
The collection of all values of a given field from all records is called a column.
