what is primary key?

Answer Posted / vinod singh kushwah

A primary key is used to uniquely identify each row in a
table. It can either be part of the actual record itself ,
or it can be an artificial field (one that has nothing to
do with the actual record). A primary key can consist of
one or more fields on a table. When multiple fields are
used as a primary key, they are called a composite key.
Primary keys can be specified either when the table is
created (using CREATE TABLE) or by changing the existing
table structure (using ALTER TABLE).
Below are examples for specifying a primary key when
creating a table:

MySQL:

CREATE TABLE Customer
(SID integer,
Last_Name varchar(30),
First_Name varchar(30),
PRIMARY KEY (SID));

Oracle:

CREATE TABLE Customer
(SID integer PRIMARY KEY,
Last_Name varchar(30),
First_Name varchar(30));

SQL Server:

CREATE TABLE Customer
(SID integer PRIMARY KEY,
Last_Name varchar(30),
First_Name varchar(30));
Below are examples for specifying a primary key by altering
a table:

MySQL:

ALTER TABLE Customer ADD PRIMARY KEY (SID);

Oracle:

ALTER TABLE Customer ADD PRIMARY KEY (SID);

SQL Server:

ALTER TABLE Customer ADD PRIMARY KEY (SID);
