data record

n. Computinga collection of related fields treated as a unit, such as a row in a relational database table; a record

Notes

A data record, as a unit of information, may not have the attributes of an archival record. For example, a data record may be frequently updated, so that its contents would not be considered fixed. A data record may not have sufficient content, context, or structure to be considered complete or have meaning apart from other data records. A logical record is a data record that is stored in a different format from that in which it is presented.
