PRIMARY KEY

The PRIMARY KEY constraint uniquely identifies each record in a database table.

SCHOOL:

CREATE TABLE SCHOOL


(
SchoolId int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
SchoolName varchar(50) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
Description varchar(1000) NULL,
Address varchar(50) NULL,
Phone varchar(50) NULL,
PostCode varchar(50) NULL,
PostAddress varchar(50) NULL,
)
CLASS:

CREATE TABLE CLASS


(
ClassId int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
SchoolId int NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES SCHOOL (SchoolId),
ClassName varchar(50) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
Description varchar(1000) NULL,
)

NOT NULL / Required CREATE TABLE [CUSTOMER]


(
CustomerId int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
CustomerNumber int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
LastName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
AreaCode int NULL,
Address varchar(50) NULL,
Phone varchar(50) NULL,
)

UNIQUE
The UNIQUE constraint uniquely identifies each record in a database table. The UNIQUE and
PRIMARY KEY constraints both provide a guarantee for uniqueness for a column or set of columns.
A PRIMARY KEY constraint automatically has a UNIQUE constraint defined on it.

Note! You can have many UNIQUE constraints per table, but only one PRIMARY KEY constraint per
table.

CREATE TABLE [CUSTOMER]


(
CustomerId int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
CustomerNumber int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
LastName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
AreaCode int NULL,
Address varchar(50) NULL,
Phone varchar(50) NULL,
)
CHECK
The CHECK constraint is used to limit the value range that can be placed in a column.
If you define a CHECK constraint on a single column it allows only certain values for this column.

CREATE TABLE [CUSTOMER]


(
CustomerId int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
CustomerNumber int NOT NULL UNIQUE CHECK(CustomerNumber>0),
LastName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
AreaCode int NULL,
Address varchar(50) NULL,
Phone varchar(50) NULL,
)

DEFAULT

The DEFAULT constraint is used to insert a default value into a column.


The default value will be added to all new records, if no other value is specified.

CREATE TABLE [CUSTOMER]


(
CustomerId int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
CustomerNumber int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
LastName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
Country varchar(20) DEFAULT 'Norway',
AreaCode int NULL,
Address varchar(50) NULL,
Phone varchar(50) NULL,
)

AUTO INCREMENT or IDENTITY


CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER
(
CustomerId int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
CustomerNumber int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
LastName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
AreaCode int NULL,
Address varchar(50) NULL,
Phone varchar(50) NULL,
)
