In this video, I explain what primary keys are in SQL databases, why they are important, and how to create them.
You will learn:
• What a primary key is and how it ensures data integrity
• Why primary keys prevent duplicates and accidental updates or deletions
• How primary keys help build relationships between tables
• The rules of primary keys, including null values and one primary key per table
• The difference between simple and compound primary keys
• How to create primary keys in new tables and add them to existing tables
I also walk through practical examples showing how to pick the right primary key for a table and how SQL automatically creates a clustered index when you define one.
By the end of this video, you will have a clear understanding of primary keys, their purpose, and how to use them effectively in SQL.
