Answer / subramanyam
A key that uniquely identifies rows in a table. Any of the
identified candidate keys can be used as the table's
primary key. Any of the candidate keys that is not part of
the primary key is called an alternate key. One can
describe a Candidate Key as a Super Key that contains only
the minimum number of columns necessary to determine
uniqueness.

Answer / lavanya
A candidate key is one that can identify each row of a
table uniquely. Generally a candidate key becomes the
primary key of the table. If the table has more than one
candidate key, one of them will become the primary key, and
the rest are called alternate keys.
