Definition: table
(1) A collection of adjacent fields of data. Also called an "array," tables may permanently reside in a program or be stored on disk and read at runtime. They may remain static (unchanged) or be dynamically updated. For example, tables in a disk's file system are continuously updated as data are written into the sectors (see FAT and MFT). See table lookup, decision table and HTML table.
(2) A collection of records (a file) in a relational database. See DBMS and file.
