record
fixed-width
records
row
<data, database, programming> An {ordered set} of {fields},
usually stored contiguously. The term is used with similar
meaning in several different contexts. In a file, a "record"
probably has some fixed length, in contrast to a "line" which
may have any length and is terminated by some {End Of Line}
sequence). A {database} record is also called a "row". In a
{spreadsheet} it is always called a "row". Some programming
languages use the term to mean a type composed of fields of
several other types ({C} calls this a "{struct}").
In all these cases, a record represents an entity with certain
field values.
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}).
In a database the list of values of a given field from all
records is called a column.
