Implementation of Integrity

constraints in MySql
 Implementation of Primary Key:

• Declaration of PRIMARY KEY :

Alternate Declaration of PRIMARY KEY
CREATE Primary Key for TEXT data type
 DEFAULT Constraint

• Used to provide a default value for a column.

• The default value will be added to all new
records if no other value is specified.
• CREATE TABLE student (
    ID int NOT NULL,
    LastName varchar(255),
    FirstName varchar(255),
    Age int,
    City varchar(255) DEFAULT ’Dhaka'
);
 NOT NULL Constraint

• By default, a column can hold NULL values.

• NOT NULL constraint enforces a column to
NOT accept NULL values.
 NOT NULL Constraint

CREATE TABLE students (
    ID int NOT NULL,
    LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    FirstName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    Age int
);
 CREATE Composite Key
• What is composite key?
A composite key, in the context of relational
databases, is a combination of two or more
columns in a table that can be used to uniquely
identify each row in the table. Uniqueness is
only guaranteed when the columns are
combined; when taken individually the columns
do not guarantee uniqueness.

 Implementation of UNIQUE
What is Unique key?
• A unique key is a set of one or more than one fields/columns of
a table that uniquely identify a record in a database table.
• It is little like primary key and it cannot have duplicate values.
• The unique key and primary key both provide a guarantee for
uniqueness for a column or a set of columns.
• There is an automatically defined unique key constraint within a
primary key constraint.
• There may be many unique key constraints for one table, but
only one PRIMARY KEY constraint for one table.
Unique Constraints
• Insert values into table teams :

 Foreign key
• A FOREIGN KEY is a field (or collection of
fields) in one table that refers to the PRIMARY
KEY in another table.
