¿Puede la identificación ser una clave principal?

Can id be a primary key?

Informally, a primary key is “which attributes identify a record”, and in simple cases are simply a single attribute: a unique id. National identification number is another example of an attribute that may be used as a natural key.

AUTO INCREMENT Field Auto-increment allows a unique number to be generated automatically when a new record is inserted into a table. Often this is the primary key field that we would like to be created automatically every time a new record is inserted.

The practice of using Id as primary key field leads to the practice where id gets added to every table. A lot of tables already have unique information that uniquely identifies a record. Use THAT as primary key and not an id field you add to each and every table. That’s one of the foundations of relational databases.

Primary keys. A primary key is a column or a set of columns in a table whose values uniquely identify a row in the table. A relational database is designed to enforce the uniqueness of primary keys by allowing only one row with a given primary key value in a table.

SQL Server @@IDENTITY Function The @@IDENTITY is a system function that returns the last IDENTITY value generated for any table with an identity column under the current session, regardless of the scope of the T-SQL statement that generated the value.

A primary key is a column or a set of columns in a table whose values uniquely identify a row in the table. A relational database is designed to enforce the uniqueness of primary keys by allowing only one row with a given primary key value in a table.

A foreign key must refer to an entire primary key, and not just part of it. Consider a Department table with a primary key of company_name + department_name. An Employee table should only refer to both attributes and not to department_name alone. Lack of foreign key indexes.

Also, you must define a primary key field of type Integer or Long to set and get the auto-generated primary key. However, the ejbCreate method does not take a primary key value as an argument. Instead the EJB container adds the correct primary key to the entity bean record.

The JPA specification supports 4 different primary key generation strategies which generate the primary key values programmatically or use database features, like auto-incremented columns or sequences. The only thing you have to do is to add the @GeneratedValue annotation to your primary key attribute and choose a generation strategy.

Above output shows that a sequence is used for primary keys. This GenerationType indicates that the persistence provider should automatically pick an appropriate strategy for the particular database. This is the default GenerationType, i.e. if we just use @GeneratedValue annotation then this value of GenerationType will be used.

The only thing you have to do is to add the @GeneratedValue annotation to your primary key attribute and choose a generation strategy. The GenerationType.AUTO is the default generation type and lets the persistence provider choose the generation strategy.
