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