Answer / koushik roy
1. A table can only have one primary key.
2. Answer #1 is right. To add it, primary key is clustered
index and when we index a column (non-primary key) it is
non-clustered index.
3. Yes this will act almost as OUTER join

Answer / ramya
1)No We can't have more than 1 primary key. Even if you try
to save it will pop an error message and nothing will be stored.
2)Clustered Index is attached with Unique. A table can have
1 and only 1 Clustered Index and it will be mostly created
on the Primary Key of the Table.
Non Clustered can be up to 254(not sure about the
number)created for a single table.
3)You can definitely select from 2 tables but all the
columns will be merged. Please check how you want the data
from those 2 tables

2.Difference between Cluster Index and non-Clustered Index, check this link: http://sqlwithmanoj.com/2011/03/02/clustered-vs-nonclustered-indexes-and-data-sorting/
3.Yes, we use query like this "Select * from Table1, Table2;". This will give a Cross Join (or cartesian-product) results from both the tables.

Answer / prasanna
1.We cant see more than one primary key for the table,
however we could create composite index using clustered
index in a table.
2.Clustered index - Order the data in the physical order.
Non clustered index does not order the data
3.We can select both the table using that script which u
mentioned.

Answer / kishore
1.No.In a table only one primary key.we have to use the
behavior of primary key i.e in a colon to set unique key and
not null.
2.Cluster index is the leaf node directly consist a values.
and non cluster index is the leaf node consists address of
value at same task or heap.
3.No
