Table Name: Record Basic Data
Group: BIT (Basic Information Tables)
Type: Data insertion table. A table used to input the information for new records.
General Description:
This is the core table of the database, storing all essential metadata for each palaeoflood record. Each row represents a documented palaeoflood event identified through various types of evidence, dated, and cited in scientific publications. The record is georeferenced and can be linked to multiple hydrological interpretations. Including records in this table is mandatory to populate the HIT and SIT tables.

Fields:
- ID (Record Identifier): Primary key that uniquely identifies each palaeoflood record in the database. It links this table to spatial and hydrological data.
- NB (Short Name): A short name or code to easily reference the record. For example, "EB-01" may indicate a site along the Ebro River.
- CA, P, M (Administrative Location): Information about the administrative unit where the record is located in Spain. CA = Autonomous Community, P = Province, M = Municipality.
- DH (River Basin District): The official water management division in Spain. Helps classify the record within a recognised watershed.
- OS, AC (Hydrographic Context): Describe the hydrographic setting of the evidence site. OS = Name of the stream, AC = Drainage basin area upstream of the site.
- T, ST, SST, OE (Type of Evidence): Classification of the evidence type used to identify the flood event. Includes broader categories (e.g., geological), subtypes (e.g., sedimentary), and further descriptions (e.g., backwater deposits). OE allows for custom descriptions.
- TE, ED, RES, REI, EDF (Dating Information): Describe the temporal placement of the event, including the estimated age or date, whether exact or a range. EDF indicates the calendar system used (e.g., BP, CE).
- MD, IDT, OT (Dating Method): Explain how the evidence was dated (radiocarbon, documentary, etc.) along with associated uncertainty and additional remarks.
- RF, AU, AP, OP (Bibliographic Reference): Reference to the source publication. RF = citation, AU = author(s), AP = year, OP = other publication info.
- IDD (Input Record Date): Date when the record was added to the database.

Relationships:
- Linked to hydrological data (HIT group) via the ID field (PK).
- Linked to spatial data (SIT group) through the Point Association table.
