A field is a single named piece of data in a table.
- In database terms a field is an attribute/column of the table (e.g., FirstName, Email).
- Each row (record) contains one value for each field; the intersection of a row and a field is a cell (the field value).
- Fields usually have a name and a data type (text, integer, date, etc.).
Example: In a Contacts table the fields might be FirstName, LastName, Phone. A record could be (John, Doe, 555‑1234); the value "555‑1234" is the Phone field value for that record.
