STUDENT table:

STUDENT_IDSTUDENT_NAMEDEPARTMENT
304JohnComputer Science
608RoseEarth Science

ES103Earth Science Basics608

Which are the two types of integrity constraints?
How do the two types of integrity constraints differ?
You decided to create a client ID field for the primary key since some clients have the same name as others. Now you need to decide on a name for the field. The field name should make it clear that the field is a unique identifier for each record in order for it to be valuable for others using the database. What field name will help you track the relevant information as you work with this table? a)ClientID . b)PrimaryKey.
