A primary key is which of the following?

  • A.Any attribute
  • B.An attribute that uniquely identifies each row
  • C.An attribute that uniquely identifies each column
  • D.A derived attribute

Answer: B

Correct answer: An attribute that uniquely identifies each row

The primary key distinguishes rows, which is the sense in which a relation is a set. It is chosen from among the candidate keys, and it must be unique, never null, and stable - a value that changes would break every foreign key referring to it.
