A record is a row in a database whereas a field is a column. So a column holds only one type of info like name.

Fields are the specific columns of a tables that contain only one type of data .
Eg: Table of Employee
EmpNo Name
1 sujit
2 ajit
3 nitin
Here 1,2,3 are the employee numbers they will be only numbers.
sujit, ajit, nitin are names they will always be characters.
Eg: Table of Employee
EmpNo Name
1 sujit
2 ajit
3 nitin
Here 1,2,3 are the employee numbers they will be only numbers.
sujit, ajit, nitin are names they will always be characters.

As a field is a column and a single column contain only one type of data hence field contains only one type of information like name or a group of characters.

A field can be easily explained by a simple example i.e when we enter a name in the log in form, in that box we can enter only a name i.e nothing but a field.

Report cant be of single datatype, record is collection of different fields. Mostly, file comprising of heterogeneous data fields. So field is the only one which points to single data type.

Report contains so many records. Record contains so many fields. i.e it contians diff data types. File is nothing but a group of stmts. So field only holds one type of data.

Field is a column in a table. It has a specific activity/task. So it holds similar type of data.
