1. A table should have only one primary key
2. More than one column can consist of a primary key – upto
64 columns
3. Can not be NULL values (missing values)
4. Should be unique values (no duplicate value)
Foreign key

2. More than one column can consist a primary key – upto 64
columns
3. Can have NULL values
4. Can have duplicate values
5. There should be a corresponding primary key in the
parent table to enforce referential integrity for a foreign
key

Answer / tdguy
There can be more than one primary key in TD. But PI should
always be one and can contain upto 16 columns. Performance
of Teradata is directly linked to PI. Row hash value (32
bit) is calculated from PI using the hashing function. This
hash value along with the uniqueness id (32 bit value)
helps in locating the amp.
