Answer / Tarun Rohiley
1. Primary Key: A column or set of columns in a table that uniquely identifies each record and ensures data integrity by enforcing unique values.
2. Secondary Key: A candidate key that does not serve as the primary key but still uniquely identifies each record in a table.
3. Alternate Key: Another name for secondary key, it is used when we have more than one candidate key in a table and want to define another key apart from the primary key.
4. Candidate Key: A column or set of columns that can serve as a primary key because they uniquely identify each record in a table.
