In the context of a database, a field refers to a single piece of data within a database record. It is the smallest unit of data that can be accessed, and it represents a specific attribute or characteristic of the entity being stored. For example, in a database of customer information, fields may include the customer's name, address, phone number, and email address. Each of these pieces of information would be stored in a separate field within the database. Fields are organized into records, which are complete sets of related fields for a single entity or object.
