Define candidate key, alternate key, composite key?

Answer Posted / manumole

Candidate key:

Candidate keys for a table includes the set of columns
which satisfies the criteria of a primary key.

Primary key : a column/combination of columns which
uniquely identifies a row and whose values are not null.

Clustered Key:when a combination of columns becomes a
primary key it is called as clustered key.

Alternate keys:the set of columns which is avialble in the
candidate keys and are not selected as primary key.

Alternate key is MobNo
Clustered key:if both combination CustomerID- MobNo is
taken as primary key,it is nothing but a clustered key
