我使用的是MySQL数据库。

在哪些情况下我应该创建唯一键或主键?


当前回答

Primary Key Unique Key
A primary key can't accept NULL values Unique key can accept NULL values, so problematic in the context of being unique
A primary key cannot contain duplicate values A unique key also cannot contain duplicate values
We can have only one primary key in a table We can have more than one unique key in a table
We can make a primary key from one or more table fields We can also make a unique key from one or more table fields
By default, a primary key creates a clustered index By default, a unique key creates a non-clustered unique index
It is used to identify each record in the table It prevents storing duplicate entries in a column

Unique key :- It should be used when you have to give unique value.In the case of unique key it means null values are also allowed.Unique keys are those keys which are unique and non similar in that column like for example your pet name.it can be nothing like null and if you are asking in context of database then it must be noted that every null is different from another null in the database.EXCEPT-SQL Server where null=null is true


主键:— 它应该在必须唯一标识一行时使用。Primary是一个键,它对数据库约束中的每一行都是唯一的,它不允许它为空。你可能看到数据库中有一个列是自动递增的它是表的主键。另外,它可以在另一个表中用作外键。例如订单表中的orderId,账单表中的billId。 现在回到什么情况下使用它:-

1)主键在哪个列可以 在表中不是空,并且在另一个表中用作外键 用于创建关系的表

2)唯一键在表中所在 不影响在表中或在整个数据库中 对于特定列为Null,比如餐馆里的小吃 可能你在餐馆里不带零食

简单的主键是唯一的,不能为空,唯一的可以为空,也可以不是唯一的。

主键是唯一的键。

每个表最多只能有一个主键,但可以有多个唯一键。主键用于唯一地标识表行。主键不能为NULL,因为NULL不是一个值。

主键具有标识数据库行的语义。因此,一个给定的表只能有一个主键,而可以有许多唯一键。

同样的原因,主键不能为NULL(至少在Oracle中,其他数据库就不确定了)

因为它标识了行,所以它永远不应该更改。改变主键一定会造成严重的痛苦,甚至可能是永恒的诅咒。

因此,在大多数情况下,你需要一些人为的id作为主键,它只用于标识表中的单行。

另一方面,唯一键可以随心所欲地更改。
