Answer to Question 2

Primary keys are commonly included in indexes, and are used to identify records to be retrieved by users. The ideal primary key is short, numeric and fixed. When the primary key contains a lengthy text field, this creates a large amount of duplicated data that must be frequently manipulated. For these reasons, it is often practical to use a surrogate key that is generated by the system and is relatively small and easy to manipulate.
