    Attributes
    - A single data item related to a database object. The database schema associates one or more attributes with each database entity.

    Rows
    - A row is also called as a record or a tuple which represents a single, implicitly structured data item in a table. In simpler terms, a database table can be thought of as consisting of rows and columns or fields.

    Tables
    - A table is a set of data elements (values) which uses a model of vertical columns (identifiable by name) and horizontal rows, the cell being the unit where a row and column intersect. A table has a specified number of columns, but can have any number of rows.

    Relations
    - A relation was defined by E. F. Codd it is a set of tuples (d1, d2, ..., dn), where each element dj is a member of Dj, a data domain.
