	record
fixed-width
records
row

    An ordered set of fields,
   usually stored contiguously.  The term is used with similar
   meaning in several different contexts.  In a file, a "record"
   probably has some fixed length, in contrast to a "line" which
   may have any length and is terminated by some End Of Line
   sequence).  A database record is also called a "row".  In a
   spreadsheet it is always called a "row".  Some programming
   languages use the term to mean a type composed of fields of
   several other types (C calls this a "struct").

   In all these cases, a record represents an entity with certain
   field values.

   Fields may be of a fixed width (bits or characters) or
   they may be separated by a delimiter character, often
   comma (CSV) or HT (TSV).

   In a database the list of values of a given field from all
   records is called a column.
