Explanation:

Both Primary Key and Candidate Key are the attributes that are used to access tuples from a table. These (Primary key and Candidate key) are also can be used to create a relationship between two tables.

A Candidate Key can be any column or a combination of columns that can qualify as a unique key in the database. Each Candidate Key can qualify as a Primary Key.
A Primary Key is a column or a combination of columns that uniquely identify a record. The primary key is a minimal super key, so there is one and only one primary key in any relationship.

The main difference between them is that a primary key is unique but there can be many candidate keys.

Web design is awesome! Alright, so -

If you want to call some attention to text, you need to focus on the basic essentials.

You want your text to be brief and split up. If someone goes on your site and see's walls of text, they'll be overwhelmed and leave.

So, to call attention - make it brief, and split it up into nice paragraphs.

Another way to call attention to text is to have a really good colour scheme. Having text easy on the eyes attracts the reader more, and encourages them to dive deeper.

If your text is unattractive and hard to look at it, it'll certainly get their attention - but not the attention you want.

Finally, another way to call attention is with visual adjustments such as making text bold, making it italicised, making it ALL CAPS, or just GOING CRAZY WITH UNNECESSARY TEXT ATTENTION ATTRACTING POWER!!!!!!!

Ahem... Anyways, these are just a few ways to get their attention. =) If you need any other help, private message me because I love web development! =)
