A '''recordset''' is a [data structure](/source/data_structure) that consists of a group of [database](/source/database) [records](/source/record_(database)), and can either come from a base [table](/source/table_(database)) or as the result of a [query](/source/Information_retrieval) to the table. 

The concept is common to a number of platforms, notably Microsoft's [Data Access Objects](/source/Data_Access_Objects) (DAO) and [ActiveX Data Objects](/source/ActiveX_Data_Objects) (ADO). The Recordset object contains a Fields collection, and a Properties collection. At any time, the Recordset object refers to only a single record within the set as the current record.
