Primary key:- Primary key means main key. A primary key is
one which uniquely identifies of a table. Prrimay key does
not allow null values and duplicate values.
e.g:
empno empname status
10 dipender active
20 nisha inactive
30 vikas active
40 naveen active
Pimary key not like this:
10 dipender active
20 nisha inactive
30 vikas active
naveen active ........ (duplicate value)
Unique key:-A unique is one which uniquely identifies a row
of a table, but there is a difference like it will allow
only one duplicate values (In sql).
Both will function in a similar way but a slight difference
will be there. So, decalaring it as a primary key is the
best one.
foreign key:- a foreign key is one which will refer to a
primary key of another table and helps making link
e.g
employee_table user_table
empID empname status userID userID empname
10 dipender active 1 1 dipender
20 nisha inactive 2 2 nisha
30 vikas active 3 3 vikas
40 naveen active 4 4 naveen
In the above relation, userID is there in employee_table
which
is a primary key of user_table. that means, userID is
refering the user_table.
