(STREET ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIP) is an ideal primary key.

  • A.True
  • B.False

Answer: B

Correct answer: False

A composite of four text columns is long, not numeric, and liable to change whenever someone moves or a postcode is revised - and every foreign key referring to it would have to change with it. An ideal primary key is short, numeric and seldom changing, which is exactly why a surrogate key is used instead.
