Primary Key:

  • Primary Key Constraint defines a column or combination of columns which uniquely identifies each row in the table.
  • After creating a primary key, it can be referenced by a foreign key

Foreign Key:

  • This constraint identifies any column referencing the PRIMARY KEY in another table.
  • It establishes a relationship between two columns in the same table or between different tables.
  • One or more columns can be defined as Foreign key.

Unique Key:

  • A column(s) can have a null value but the values cannot be duplicated

Check Key:

  • All the rows must satisfy this rule.
