Hello,
I am currently working on documentation for a database that contains
descriptions of the purpose of each table and each field/column in the
table. This document will be used by developers. Which is the more correct
term, "field" or "column"? Is it an "either or and be consistent" matter or
is one term more accepted than the other?
