When should I use KEY , PRIMARY KEY , UNIQUE KEY and INDEX ? KEY and INDEX are synonyms in MySQL. They mean the same thing. In databases you would use indexes to improve the speed of data retrieval. An index is typically created on columns used in JOIN , WHERE , and ORDER BY clauses. Imagine you have a table called users and you want to search for all the users which have the last name 'Smith'. Without an index, the database would have to go through all the records of the table: this is slow, because the more records you have in your database, the more work it has to do to find the result.

问题 An existing DB schema has unique, non-primary, keys, and some foreign keys that rely on them. Is it possible to define unique keys, which are not primary keys, in Entity Framework v4? How? 回答1: The Entity Framework 6.1 now supports uniques with both Data Annotations and Fluent API.
