I would go with "file". Most files being a collection of related
information.

Much past _that_ and the analogies break down.
Databases are databases, and other data constructs are other data constructs.

That said, this thread will will probably run on with pedantic
pot-shots, and eventually you will be accused of being a troll. :-)

"File" is good. "Dataset" works too.

Sheet?
(As a ref to spreadsheet ...)

You can have more than 1 sheet in a file.
You can have more tables in a database?

Ehm... sorry to correct myself, but then you would say:

SQL-like database: field, record, table, database
General: column, row, sheet, file

Isn't the question wrong?

SQL-like database: attribute, tuple, table
General: column, row, table
