I think of it this way:
Database: A collection of tables
Table: A collection of columns
Column: A collection of cells (visualized with a vertical
orientation)
Rows: A collection of cells (visualized with a horizontal
orientation), all cells from different columns, but all cells with the
same recordID and from the same table
Record: A row of a table
This visualization is, I think, basically the same as visualizing a
table as a spreadsheet.
It seems to me that figuring out manipulating a database is akin to
figuring out how to manipulate nested groups. It is a big pain at first,
but once the structure is fully in my head, it will be relatively
straight-forward.
At least, I hope so :)
