  1. To create a table with a primary key in MySQL, you can use the CREATE TABLE statement. A primary key uniquely identifies each record in the table and ensures that no duplicate or NULL values are present in the specified column(s).

    Example: Single-Column Primary Key

    CREATE TABLE Persons (
    ID int NOT NULL,
    LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    FirstName varchar(255),
    Age int,
    PRIMARY KEY (ID)
    );
    Copié !

    In this example, the ID column is defined as the primary key.

    Example: Multi-Column Primary Key

    CREATE TABLE Orders (
    OrderID int NOT NULL,
    ProductID int NOT NULL,
    OrderDate date,
    PRIMARY KEY (OrderID, ProductID)
    );
    Copié !

    Here, the combination of OrderID and ProductID forms the primary key.

    Adding a Primary Key to an Existing Table

    If you need to add a primary key to an existing table, you can use the ALTER TABLE statement:

    ALTER TABLE Persons
    ADD PRIMARY KEY (ID);
    Copié !

    This command adds a primary key to the ID column of the Persons table.

    Removing a Primary Key

    To remove a primary key from a table, use the following SQL statement:

    ALTER TABLE Persons
    DROP PRIMARY KEY;
