What is the record based data model?

The record-based data model is a framework for organizing and storing data in a structured format, typically using records and fields. Each record represents a single entity or item, while fields within the record hold specific attributes or properties of that entity. Common types of record-based models include the relational model, where data is organized into tables, and the hierarchical and network models, which structure data in tree-like or graph formats. This model facilitates efficient data retrieval and management, often leveraging keys for relationships between records.
