Difference between Primary and Foreign key in Database and SQL

Hello guys, if you are preparing for database or developer interview then questions form primary key is very common on interviews. One of such question is primary key vs foreign key which is asked ot me multiple times during early stage of my career. Now my experience has grown so I don't see this question quite often but the concept is still very important for any database admin or programmer to understand. 

The key difference between primary key and foreign key is that primary key on one table can be foreign key on other related table. 

For example, you have two tables Employee and Department, each have primary key emp_id and dept_id, now if you want to link or join these two table then you created a column called dept_id on employee table to indicate which department a particular employee work and now dept_id is a foreign key in Employee table.

You can join as many columns as you want with the + operator but you must remember that concatenating with NULL will produce NULL, which means you can lose the information from other columns if one of them is NULL.
