a table can have more than one primary key code example

Example 1: how to make multiple keys as primary in bdms

CREATE TABLE `Donor`(
  `did` int(50) NOT NULL,
  `oid` int(50) NOT NULL,
  `dname` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `dblood` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`did`, `oid`)
);

Example 2: identify primary key in sql table

-- NOTE: this is for SQL-Oracle specifically

-- syntax:
SELECT cols.table_name, cols.column_name, cols.position, cons.status, cons.owner
FROM all_constraints cons, all_cons_columns cols
WHERE cols.table_name = '<table-name>' -- Replace <table-name> with your table-name
AND cons.constraint_type = 'P'
AND cons.constraint_name = cols.constraint_name
AND cons.owner = cols.owner


-- example:
SELECT cols.table_name, cols.column_name, cols.position, cons.status, cons.owner
FROM all_constraints cons, all_cons_columns cols
WHERE cols.table_name = 'CUSTOMERS' 
AND cons.constraint_type = 'P'
AND cons.constraint_name = cols.constraint_name
AND cons.owner = cols.owner
