A vector is a sequence of the same type of elements. The element type may be any type including a vector or record type.

 It is a  field which tell us how many times a particular field is repeated .for example

Take this input

Cust_id    purchase_amount  purchase date

101          1000                     29.08.06

101           500                      30.08.06

102           1050                     31.08.06

103          1140                     1.0906

103          1000                      02.0906

103           500                       30.09.06

 

Cust_id  total_purchase_amount     no_purchase purchase_date(1)  purchase_date(2
