To remove a primary key constraint, you can use the ALTER TABLE statement and specify the DROP PRIMARY KEY keyword. The specific steps are as follows:

  1. First, connect to the MySQL database.
  2. Remove primary key constraint using the following syntax:
  3. Remove the primary key from the table named table_name.
  4. In the above syntax, replace “table_name” with the name of the table from which you want to remove the primary key constraint.
  5. Executing the above SQL statement will successfully delete the primary key constraint.

Please be aware that before deleting the primary key constraint, careful consideration should be given to the impacts and consequences, and ensuring that deleting the primary key constraint will not have any negative effects on other tables or data in the database.
