The primary key is identified as a unique identifier for a table, ensuring that no two records have the same value in that column or set of columns. It is typically defined during the table design phase and can be a single column or a combination of columns. Foreign keys, on the other hand, are fields in a table that create a link between that table and another table; they reference the primary key of another table to establish a relationship. To identify foreign keys, look for columns that are intended to reference the primary key of another table, often indicated by naming conventions or constraints defined in the database schema.
