Are all composite keys primary keys?

Can a table have both primary and composite key?

So yes, a table can have a PRIMARY KEY on one column, and a composite UNIQUE INDEX or UNIQUE CONSTRAINT.

Are composite keys foreign keys?

A composite key specifies multiple columns for a primary-key or foreign-key constraint. The next example creates two tables. The first table has a composite key that acts as a primary key, and the second table has a composite key that acts as a foreign key.

Which is better primary key or composite key?

Every row in the table must have a primary key and no two rows can have the same primary key. Primary key value can never be null nor can be modified or updated. Composite Key is a form of the candidate key where a set of columns will uniquely identify every row in the table.

Is there always a primary key?

Every table can have (but does not have to have) a primary key. The column or columns defined as the primary key ensure uniqueness in the table; no two rows can have the same key. The primary key of one table may also help to identify records in other tables, and be part of the second table's primary key.
