    Primary key
    - It is a field in a table which uniquely identifies each row/record in a database table.

    - They must contain unique values.

    - This column which is a primary key cannot have NULL values.

    - A 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.

    - If a table has a primary key defined on any field(s), then you can not have two records having the same value of that field(s).
