Work Step by Step
Attribute
- An attribute is a column in a table.
- It represents a property or characteristic of an entity.
- Each attribute has a name and a data type (like integer, text, date, etc.).

In conclusion:
Attributes describe what data is stored.
Tuples record specific values of that data.
