In relational database nomenclature, what do Rows represent?

• A. Records
• B. Fields
• C. Tables
• D. Keys

Answer: (A)

Rows represent records in a table. Each row is a single instance of the entity described by the table, containing values for every column (attribute) in that row. For example, in a Customers table, one row holds one customer's data—CustomerID, Name, Email, and so on. The table as a whole stores many such rows, each representing a different record. Columns hold the attributes (fields) you see across rows, and a primary key or other keys help uniquely identify a specific row, but the row itself is the record.
