Definition

A collection of information organized in such a way that a computer program can quickly select desired pieces of data. Relational databases are organized by fields, records, and tables. A field is a single piece of information, a record is one complete set of fields, and a table is a collection of records. Storing content in fields rather than on static pages makes that content appropriate for dynamic delivery.
