database table. - In this book, primary keys are underlined.
- For example consider that there is an “Employee” table in which “emp_id” is unique so it is chosen as a primary key in
Foreign key:
- To maintain the relationship between the database tables, the values are placed from one relation to second relation.
- The values used in first relation come under the primary key values whereas the values that are referred in second relation come under the foreign key...
