Primary Key

If when you upload a new database what affect does having a primary key have on the database?

RE: Primary Key

Tim,

The primary key is a unique number that identifies each record, in relation to other tables.

When you see a primary key of say a Supplier table in another table, lets say Products, it is known a sa foriegn key. Basically it identifies the related records.

Access tip:

Related tables

When you have related tables such as Customers and their Orders, the Customer table is the Primary table.

Open the Customers table in datasheet view and go to the Home Tab and Records group. Click on the More option and choose Subdatasheet and then click on Subdatasheet again. Now choose the related table (Orders) and click ok.

Now you can click the + symbol by each company to show the related orders.
