Relational databases consist of tables. Tables consist of columns and rows; think of a single page of a simple spreadsheet. The term "field" is often used to describe the intersection of a column and a row in a database table. (Some people use the term field interchangeably with the term column so this is not completely agreed upon so, alternately, you could refer to that piece of data as a "cell".) Each column in a database has a type. In some databases the smallest type is a "bit" which represents a 0 or 1 and can be interpreted as "false" or "true". So, if a column has a type of "bit" a field in that column is probably the smallest unit of data for that database.
