Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. A field is a single piece of information; a record is one complete set of fields; and a file is a collection of records. A database is a collection of organized tables. Each table is a collection of related records.

Detailed explanation-3: -A record is a collection of fields, possibly of different data types, typically in a fixed number and sequence.
