andmebaasiväljal

Andmebaasiväljal is an Estonian term that translates to "database field" or "database column" in English. It refers to a specific piece of information within a database table that stores a particular type of data. For example, in a table of customers, individual fields might include "FirstName," "LastName," "EmailAddress," and "PhoneNumber." Each field has a defined data type, such as text, number, date, or boolean, which dictates the kind of information it can hold and how it is stored and processed.

The concept of a database field is fundamental to relational database design. Tables are composed of rows (records) and columns (fields). Each row represents a single entity (e.g., one customer), and each field within that row contains a specific attribute of that entity. The structure of these fields, including their names, data types, and constraints (like whether a field can be empty or must be unique), is defined in the database schema. Understanding andmebaasiväljal is crucial for anyone working with databases, from designing their structure to querying and manipulating data. It allows for organized storage and efficient retrieval of information.
