a tuple is one record (one row). The information in a database can be thought of as a spreadsheet, with columns (known as fields or attributes) representing different categories of information, and tuples (rows) representing all the information from each field associated with a single record.

The systematic process of organising data in columns & rows is called normalisation.
Its purposes are to cut data redundancy (avoid anomalies) & make sure the data is stored. This is important because it is difficult for application developers to store objects in a relational database.
Normalisation establishes performance of the database as fast, accurate & efficient. So we can get quick response from it.

  1. A row on a database is essential an entry with a value. For example, if the database was a list of people and their personal information, a row would be 1 person, with all of their associated information.

  2. A column is an attribute of the database. For the example of the database of the list of people and their personal information, a column would be all of the entries phone numbers, or all of their addresses. The column is essentially a category or header.

  3. A table is a subset of the entire database, with columns representing the attributes of entries, and rows representing each individual entry. A database could have several tables depending on the size of the application, and the data that is required to present to the client.
