Abstract
In the database column that I write for Personal Computer World, I was discussing primary keys a while ago and offered the opinion that for a small car restoration business, the registration number (also known as a license number) of the cars in the workshop would make a good primary key. A reader questioned this opinion and the point is interesting because it illustrates the scope that a primary key must cover.
