Determination of the Fields You Need

  • [アーティクル]

To determine the fields in a table, decide what you need to know about the people, things, or events recorded in the table. You can think of fields as attributes of the table. Each record (or row) in the table contains the same set of fields or attributes. For example, an address field in a customer table contains customers' addresses. Each record in the table contains data about one customer, and the address field contains the address for that customer.
