  record
       
           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" rel="nofollow">comma ({CSV) or HT ({TSV}).
       
          In a database the list of values of a given field from all
          records is called a column.
