field name

Database attribute identifier

A field name is the label identifying a specific data element in a database, form, or structured record.

In a customer database, field names might include "First Name," "Email," or "Phone Number." Programmers and database administrators choose field names that are descriptive yet concise: The field name was too long for the system to accept.
