SQL and Relational Databases – Reading Assignment

Tables

A database table is just that, a table with rows and columns. Different tables contain information about different types of things.

Rows

Each row in a database table represents one instance of the type of object described in that table. A row is also called a record .

Columns

The columns in a table are the set of facts that we keep track of about that type of object. A column is also called an attribute or a field .

  1. A row is the information about an entity, also known as a tuple. For example, a user is the entity, and a row has his information such as: user id (10001), name (John), age (30), address (201 Lurking St, Toshi…) phone no (917-37890000)

  2. A column is a set of information stored in the database - Attribute. Referring to the above example: User ID, name, age, address, phone no.

  3. A table is a collection of a set of information (User ID, name, age, address, phone no) for a collection of entities (John, Lucy, Adam, Peter… ) organised in the form of row and column.

Personally I find this guy on youtube explains row, column & table better than the wikibooks article, so I’ll shared it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pShj3gtYQik (from 6:27)
