73.4 Database Rows
Each new record that is saved to a table is stored in a row. Each row, in turn, consists of the columns of data associated with the saved record.
Once again, consider the spreadsheet analogy described earlier in this chapter. Each entry in a customer table is equivalent to a row in a spreadsheet and each column contains the data for each customer (name, address, telephone etc). When a new customer is added to the table, a new row is created and the data for that customer stored in the corresponding columns of the new row.
Rows are also sometimes referred to as records or entries and these terms can generally be used interchangeably.
