1A primary key is a field in a table which uniquely identifies each row/record in a database table. Primary keys must contain unique values. A primary key column cannot have NULL values.
2
3A table can have only one primary key, which may consist of single or multiple fields. When multiple fields are used as a primary key, they are called a composite key.

5If a table has a primary key defined on any field(s), then you cannot have two records having the same value of that field(s).
1The PRIMARY KEY constraint uniquely identifies each record in a table.
2Primary keys must contain UNIQUE values, and cannot contain NULL values.
3A table can have only ONE primary key; and in the table, this primary key can consist of single or multiple columns (fields).
