table

table
   In a relational database system, a table is comparable to a database file, but is more highly structured.
   The organization of a table is logical, not physical. Each row (or record) in a table contains a unique key, or primary key, so that any item of data in the table can be retrieved by referring only to that key. Through the process known as normalization, all data items in a row are made to depend only on this primary key. View and data dictionaries in a relational database take the form of two-dimensional tables.
