    Study Notes

    Primary Key in Relational Databases

    • Serves as a unique identifier for each record in a table, ensuring that no duplicate entries exist.
    • Provides a way to establish and enforce referential integrity within the database.

    Key Concepts in Relational Databases

    • Concepts typically include tables, rows, columns, primary keys, foreign keys, indices, and relationships. Items not fitting these categories may include non-relational structures.

    SQL Commands for Table Management

    • The command DROP TABLE is used to delete a table from a database permanently.
    • To create a new table, the CREATE TABLE command is utilized, defining the table structure and fields.

    Modifying Data in a Table

    • The SQL command UPDATE is employed to modify existing data within a specified table.

    WHERE Clause in SQL Queries

    • The WHERE clause filters records to specify which rows should be retrieved or affected, based on certain criteria.

    Foreign Key Functionality

    • A foreign key creates a link between two tables, establishing a relationship that allows for cross-referencing data, while enforcing referential integrity.
