    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

            :(

              Naw, a database would be more like a directory and a table like a file,
              IMHO.

                  Isn't the question wrong?

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