"Natural Key" actually refers to column(s) already available in the dataset you are turning into a row that is unique by row, and thus a candidate for being the key. (Subject to all the normalization, etc.). An artificial key is a column of made-up data added to the rest of the column. It has no use other than to provide uniqueness. In most cases there is already a unique candidate key in your data. |
