Candidate Key is a Key which identifies each row of a table
uniquely. Generally a Candidate Key becomes a Primary Key
of the table. If table has more than one Candidate Keys
then one is called Primary key and rest are called
Alternative Keys.
A key is formed by two or more columns is called Composite
Keys.
