Difference between a database record and a database field.

A database record is a row of data in a database table consisting of a single value from each column of data in the table. The data in the columns in a table are all of the same type of data, whereas the rows represent a given instance while,a database feild is a certain part of a database,containing specific information.


Difference between a memory variable and a database field.

Memory variable names must begin with a letter (A-Z, a-z) or an underscore (-), followed by any combination of letters, digits or underscores. The variable name can be of any length, but only the first ten characters are significant, so these must be unique while a database field is a part of a record held in a database,containing specific information.
