A computer record is a type or set of data stored in a system.
For computing, there are different types of records, but in all cases there is a reference to the concept of storing data or information about the state, processes or use of the computer.
First of all, A system registry is a database that has the purpose of storing configuration, options and commands of the operating system. In general, these registers are used in Microsoft Windows systems. A system registry can contain information and configurations of the hardware and software in use, user preferences, file and file associations, system uses, changes and modifications, and so on. These records are kept within the system with names such as “User.dat” or “System.dat” and can be retrieved by the user for transport to another system.
Another type of registration is programming. This type of data is formed by several elements in association that respond to the same structure. Programming records can be elementary or complex and store information about how the particular software or application will work or act at all times.
On the other hand, records are also used in a database. Each record represents a single item or element found in a table, sheet, or database. Thus, the record is configured by the set of data belonging to a particular entity.
In all these cases and others, the use of records is for the purpose of storing information and data, relating it and placing it within reach under an index or order system that allows access and use at any time. Logs are the method that both the user and the computer system use to access and use all information.
