The information in these files may be broken down into records, each of which consists of one or more fields. Fields are the basic units of data storage, and each field typically contains information pertaining to one aspect or attribute of the entity described by the database. Using keywords and various sorting commands, users can rapidly search, rearrange, group, and select the fields in many records to retrieve or create reports on particular aggregates of data. 一个数据库由一个文件或文件集合组成。这些文件中的信息可分解成一个个记录，每个记录有一个或多个域。域是数据存储的基本单位，每个域一般含有由数据库描述的属于实体的一个方面或一个特性的信息。用户使用键盘和各种排序命令，能够快速查找、重排、分组并在查找的许多记录中选择相应的域，建立特定集上的报表。;Relational databases are used where associations among files or records cannot be expressed by links; a simple flat list becomes one table, or “relation”, and multiple relations can be mathematically associated to yield desired information. Object-oriented databases store and manipulate more complex data structures, called “objects”, which are organized into hierarchical classes that may inherit properties from classes higher in the chain; this database structure is the most flexible and adaptable. 当文件或记录间的关系不能用链表达时，使用关系型数据库。一个表或一个“关系”，就是一个简单的非结构列表。多个关系可通过数学关系提供所需信息。面向对象的数据库存储并处理更复杂的称为对象的数据结构???可组织成有层次的类，其中的每个类可以继承层次链中更高一级类的特性，这种数据库结构最灵活，最具适应性。; New Words Expressions: sequential 顺序的，连续的 integrate 综合，使成整体 access v. 访问 retrieve
