Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> attribute vs element definition
Hi
I am getting confused as to what is the difference between an attribute and an element. People seem to use the terms all over the place. I googled it and it seems that attribute is the correct term. I had someone even say that attribute are groups of elements ... Anybody know of a definitive site for the nomenclature?
PHYSICAL DATABASE AddressTable <--- ENTITY
myKey
streetAddr1 <--- ATTRIBUTE / ELEMENT ?
city
ER-DIAGRAM AddressTable <--- ENTITY
myKey
streetAddr1 <--- ATTRIBUTE / ELEMENT ?
city
