No, a primary key do not refers to the whole table .A primary key refers to a field in the table that is not null and unique.
Primary key is to set property ID as the primary key for the properties table.
Because the foreign key is copied from the primary key of the parent table
A primary key is a field or set of fields with values that are unique throughout a table. Values of the key can be used to refer to entire records, because each record has a different value for the key.
It is not mandatory that is must be a primary key but it must be a unique key in the other table.
The foreign key is used as a reference in a table to the primary key of another table. For example: consider a table employee with id(primary key), name, address,department_id(foreign key) as its fields.Another table department with fields department_id(primary key) and dept_name. So, department_id is primary key in department table and foreign key in employee table.
Yes, a primary key can also be a foreign key. This is known as a composite key, where one or more columns in a table are both primary keys for that table and also act as foreign keys linking to another table.
A primary key field in a sql table is created using the PRIMARY KEY keyword. ex: CREATE TABLE tbl_employee ( emp_num VARCHAR(10), emp_name VARCHAR(100), PRIMARY KEY (emp_num)) The above script creates a table called tbl_employee and sets the emp_num field as the primary key
primary key is a column or set of columns (called composite primary key ) that identify the table & make every table unique .value of a primary key can not duplicated & can not be NULL .
A table can have only one primary key, which uniquely identifies each record within that table. However, this primary key can consist of multiple columns, known as a composite primary key. The primary key ensures that no two rows have the same values in the specified key columns.
I think super key is treated as the primary key because in a table their will be only one primary key.
You can create a primary key column in an oracle table using the PRIMARY KEY keyword. Assuming you have an employee table that has employee information and has a column called emp_num. you can create a primary key in the table using the below command. ALTER TABLE tbl_employee_info add CONSTRAINT emp_pk PRIMARY KEY (emp_num) If you execute the above command in your database, emp_num will become the primary key of the table tbl_employee_info.
Hi, As per I know you can't define a foreign key column which is a part of a composite primary key of another table. Only way you've to refer all the columns of that composite key. UKD
