Hello,
Some times the primary key is the same as the foreign key such as in the 
following design. which is used to model 1-1 relationship.
In the database books, such as database fundamentals(Masri), the 1-1 relation 
is 
modeled by having two separate key. 
when this kind of design (shared key) is preferable and  is there any anomalies 
to it.
 

create table Table1
( T1_Id    integer     not null primary key
, T1_Data  varchar(9)  not null
)
create table Table2
( T2_Id    integer     not null primary key
, T2_Data  varchar(37) not null
, foreign key (T2_Id) references Table1 (T1_Id)
)
 

Thanks in advance
