How to create composite primary key in SQL Server 2008
create table my_table (
column_a integer not null,
column_b integer not null,
column_c varchar(50),
primary key (column_a, column_b)
);
CREATE TABLE UserGroup
(
[User_Id] INT NOT NULL,
[Group_Id] INT NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT PK_UserGroup PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([User_Id], [Group_Id])
)
Via Enterprise Manager (SSMS)...
- Right Click on the Table you wish to create the composite key on and select Design.
- Highlight the columns you wish to form as a composite key
- Right Click over those columns and Set Primary Key
To see the SQL you can then right click on the Table
> Script Table As
> Create To
I know I'm late to this party, but for an existing table, try:
ALTER table TABLE_NAME
ADD CONSTRAINT [name of your PK, e.g. PK_TableName] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (column1, column2, etc.)
