Field (computer science)
In computer science, data that has several parts can be divided into fields. For example, a computer may represent today's date as three distinct fields: the day, the month and the year.
Programming languages usually have a record data type to represent composite data types as a series of fields. An array of boolean values can be represented as a bit field.
Relational databases arrange data as sets of database records, also called rows. Each record consists of several fields; the fields of all records form the columns.
