A database record is a row of data. The row contains fields that are arranged in columns. Each field contains a single piece of information.
Database is created to keep a systematic record of data of a particular field.
A database is a collection of interrelated data and the advantages of a database are ensured efficiency, standardized data, maintainable data, integrated data, reduced redundancy of data.
. Primary and Secondary data . Discrete and Continuous Data . Sample and Population Data
Disadvantage of data recovery : Some data recovery companies charge very high to recover your data if the level of corruption is so high and even sometimes data not recovered by data recovery software which is one of the main disadvantage of data recovery.

A field's data type specifies the kind of data it can contain, such as text, numbers, dates, or Boolean values. This helps ensure data integrity by restricting what type of data can be entered into that field, preventing errors and inconsistencies in the database. Choosing the appropriate data type for each field is important for accurately storing and organizing data.
A database field format refers to the data type and structure used to define a specific field within a database table. It determines how data is stored, validated, and interpreted within that field, such as text, numbers, dates, or binary data. Common field formats include VARCHAR for variable-length text, INT for integers, and DATE for dates.
The data type of a field specifies the kind of data it can contain, such as text, numbers, dates, or boolean values. The field's properties and configurations determine how it is displayed, validated, and used within a database or software application. It helps ensure data integrity and consistency when entering, storing, and manipulating data.
Number
text
The field can contain any characters. A maximum number of 255 characters is allowed in a field whose data type is Text.
text
A data field is a place where data can be stored. It may be a column in a database or a field in a data entry form.
The data type of the Variable determines/indicates the type of data that can be stored in a field/variable
In Access and in databases in general each field in a database table is of a certain data type. The data type determines what type of data a field can hold. A field of the text data type can hold text, a field of the number data type can hold numbers and a field of the data/time data type can hold date and time values.Access actively checks what type of data is entered into a field and Access will disallow the entry of data into a field that doesn't conform to the field's data type. Access won't allow you to put text into a field of the Number data type, for example.So, data types are a way to restrict the entry of data into a field. Internally, the database uses different strategies for the storage and retrieval of different data types.
