record
     
         an ordered set of fields,
        usually stored contiguously.  the term is used with similar
        meaning in several different contexts.  in a file, a "record"
        probably has some fixed length, in contrast to a "line" which
        may have any length and is terminated by some end of line
        sequence.  a database record is also called a "row".  in a
        spreadsheet it is always called a "row".  some programming
        languages use the term to mean a type composed of fields of
        several other types c calls this a "struct".
     
        in all these cases, a record represents an entity with certain
        field values.
     
        fields may be of a fixed width bits or characters or
        they may be separated by a delimiter character, often
        comma csv or ht tsv.
     
        in a database the list of values of a given field from all
        records is called a column.

record, evidence. a written memorial made by a public officer authorized by 
law to perform that function, and intended to serve as evidence of something 
written, said, or done. 6 call, 78; 1 dana, 595. 
     2. records may be divided into those which relate to the proceedings of 
congress and the state legislatures -- the courts of common law -- the 
courts of chancery -- and those which are made so by statutory provisions. 
     3.-1. legislative acts. the acts of congress and of the several 
legislatures are the highest kind of records. the printed journals of 
congress have been so considered. 1 whart. dig. tit. evidence, pl. 112 and 
see dougl. 593; cowp. 17. 
     4.-2. the proceedings of the courts of common law are records. but 
every minute made by a clerk of a court for his own future guidance in 
making up his record, is not a record. 4 wash. c. c. rep. 698. 
     5.-3. proceedings in courts of chancery are said not to be, strictly 
speaking, records; but they are so considered. gresley on ev. 101. 
     6.-4. the legislatures of the several states have made the enrollment 
of certain deeds and other documents necessary in order to perpetuate the 
memory of the facts they contain, and declared that the copies thus made 
should have the effect of records.

declared that "full faith and credit shall be given, in each state, to the 
public acts, records and judicial proceedings of every other state; and the 
congress may, by general laws, prescribe the manner in which such acts, 
records and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof." in 
pursuance of this power, congress have passed several acts directing the 
manner of authenticating public records, which will be found under the 
article authentication.
