What is a Record in Databases?
In the context of databases, a record (also known as a row) is a single instance of data within a table. It represents a single entity, such as a customer, product, or order, and contains all the fields or columns that describe that entity.
For example, in a customers table, each record would represent one individual customer, with fields such as name, address, email, and so on. Similarly, in an orders table, each record would represent one individual order, with fields such as order date, customer name, products purchased, and so on.
Records are often used to store and manage large amounts of data within a database, and they can be accessed and manipulated using SQL commands such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.
