What is a GlideRecord

• Used for database operations instead of writing SQL queries
• An object containing zero or more records from the same table (ordered list)
• Properties are the table's field names (columns)
• Execute server-side

Any table row from any table can become a GlideRecord.

GlideRecord queries can be called client-side but this should be avoided due to performance impact. The $$getReference()$$ method previously discussed in Module 3 - Client Script performs a GlideRecord query.
