SQL Primary Key

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

PRIMARY KEY uniquely identifies every row (as a UNIQUE + NOT NULL combination), can span multiple columns, and is the anchor that FOREIGN KEY constraints in other tables point to. [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

  • PRIMARY KEY constraint — uniquely identifies each record; ensures unique values and cannot contain NULL (combination of UNIQUE + NOT NULL). [S1]
  • One per table — a table can have only ONE PRIMARY KEY, which can be a single column or a combination of columns (composite key). [S1]
  • FK anchor — the primary key is the target that FOREIGN KEY constraints in other tables reference, enforcing referential integrity. [S1]
  • ALTER TABLE prerequisite — adding a PRIMARY KEY via ALTER TABLE requires the column(s) already be declared NOT NULL. [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

  • Single-column PK on creation: CREATE TABLE Persons (ID int PRIMARY KEY, LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL, FirstName varchar(255), Age int);. [S1]
  • Composite (multi-column) PK: PRIMARY KEY (ID, LastName), or named: CONSTRAINT PK_Person PRIMARY KEY (ID, LastName). [S1]
  • Add PK to existing table: ALTER TABLE Persons ADD PRIMARY KEY (ID);. [S1]
  • Drop PK: ALTER TABLE Persons DROP CONSTRAINT PK_Person; (SQL Server/Oracle/Access) vs. ALTER TABLE Persons DROP PRIMARY KEY; (MySQL). [S1]

⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)

  • 드롭 문법 차이: SQL Server/Oracle/Access는 DROP CONSTRAINT, MySQL은 DROP PRIMARY KEY를 사용. [S1]

🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)

현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — FOREIGN KEY 챕터에서 이 PRIMARY KEY를 참조하는 관계가 바로 이어서 다뤄진다. [S1]

💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)

Composite primary key (SQL):

CREATE TABLE Persons (
    ID int,
    LastName varchar(255),
    FirstName varchar(255),
    Age int,
    CONSTRAINT PK_Person PRIMARY KEY (ID, LastName)
);
