291 A primary key is an index over one or more fields in a table with
292 unique values for every single row in this table. Every table should have
293 a primary key for easier accessing/identifying data in this table. There
294 can only be one primary key per table and it is named always **PRIMARY**.
295 In fact, a primary key is just an :term:`unique key` with the name
296 **PRIMARY**. If no primary key is defined MySQL will use first *unique
297 key* as primary key if there is one.
299 You can create the primary key when creating the table (in phpMyAdmin
300 just check the primary key radio buttons for each field you wish to be
301 part of the primary key).
303 You can also add a primary key to an existing table with `ALTER` `TABLE`
304 or `CREATE` `INDEX` (in phpMyAdmin you can just click on 'add index' on
305 the table structure page below the listed fields).
