A table can store information in several fields. Each field store one piece of information. It is then possible to access one piece of information at a time.

In our example, the table called "People" includes the fields "Name", "First Name" and "Photo". The "Travel" table includes the fields "Destination", "Date" and "Price".

The content of the information is stored in a record. In our example, the "People" table will include one record per person.

The tables and fields constitute the Structure of the database.
