A primary key is a column which uniquely identifies the
records in a table. In a broad sense, a primary key is the
mixture of a unique key and an index: A collumn with a primary
key is indexed to deliver a faster query, and doesn't allow
duplicate values to ensure specific data.
A foreign key is a column (the child collumn) in a table which
has a corresponding relationship and a dependency on another
collumn (the parent collumn) that is usually in a different
table. Parent collumns can have multiple child collumns, but a
child collumn can only have one parent collumn.
