File
A computer file is a block of arbitrary information, or resource for storing information, which is available to a computer program and is usually based on some kind of durable storage. A file is durable in the sense that it remains available for programs to use after the current program has finished. Computer files can be considered as the modern counterpart of paper documents which traditionally were kept in offices' and libraries' files, which are the source of the term.

DataField

Datafields - a string containing all field and subfield data in the record.

Record
In computer science, a record type is a type whose values are records, i.e. aggregates of several items of possibly different types. The items being aggregated are called fields (or members) and are usually identified or indexed by field labels, names identifying the fields.
Record types are mathematically equivalent to product types but they usually behave differently with respect to typing: in most if not all typed programming languages, record types are bound to names and two record types are equal for the type system if and only if they have the name. This contrasts with product types where the equality is the equality of each of the type components individually.

Folder
A file folder (US usage) or folder (British and Australian usage) is a kind of folder that holds loose papers together for organization and protection. File folders usually consist of a sheet of heavy paper stock or other thin, but stiff, material which is folded in half, and are used to keep paper documents. They are often used in conjunction with a filing cabinet for storage. File folders can easily be purchased at office supply stores. In the UK, one of the oldest and best known filing companies is Railex. File folders are usually labeled based on what's inside them. Folders can be labeled directly on the tab with a pen or pencil. Others write on adhesive labels that are placed on the tabs. There are also electronic labelmakers that can be used to make the labels.

Database
A database is a structured collection of records or data. A computer database relies upon software to organize the storage of data. The software models the database structure in what are known as database models. The model in most common use today is the relational model. Other models such as the hierarchical model and the network model use a more explicit representation of relationships (see below for explanation of the various database models).
