| #### What is the difference between a primary key and a foreign key? Where would we find a primary key? What would it be called by default? Where would we find a foreign key? What is the naming convention for a foreign key? | |
| A unique primary key exists for every element/row in a table, and would be called that object's id. A foreign key is the identifier of an object/row in a table different from the one in which it is found, and does not have to be unique in the table in which it is found. It points to a related object. The naming convention is the table/object name + _ + id. | |
| #### Write down one example of: | |

| * a `one-to-many relationship`: teacher to students | |
| * a `many-to-many relationship`: students to classes |
