For people with low experience of SQL, I should clarify what Joe Celko
is talking about: "Fields" starts with "F", columns starts with "C".

SQL people normally use "rows" and "columns", but we understand "records"
and "fields" without problem. It can even happen that we use them ourselves.
Even Celko has been caught doing it.
