Primary Keys: Primary keys are the identifier and applied
on the table in the form of constraints. Primary key
provides uniqueness in the data.
Foreign Key: Foreign Keys are the relationship and applied
on the table in the form of constraints. Foreign key in a
table is a primary key of another table and use to make
relationship between two tables.

Answer / ysailajasantosh
Primary key means a unique key which is constant.
A foreign key (FK) is a column or combination of columns
that is used to establish and enforce a link between the
data in two tables. You can create a foreign key by
defining a FOREIGN KEY constraint when you create or modify
a table.
