Primary key: Standards & Products

In the relational model of databases, a primary key is a designated set of attributes (column(s)) that can reliably identify and distinguish between each individual record in a table. The database creator can choose an existing unique attribute or combination of attributes from the table (a natural key) to act as its primary key, or create a new…
