A database field is a space in a fixed/known location where a specific item or location is found. Fields are the smallest units of information that is accessable.
For example, when you're filling out a form online, you have to fill in your information in fields. Some fields are required where you have to put data/information, some are optional that you can leave blank, and some are calculated.
Examples include a tax form which contains several fields like:
• name
• Social Security number
• income
