Answer / swapna
Both primary key and unique enforce uniqueness of the
column on which they are defined. But by default primary
key creates a clustered index on the column, where are
unique creates a nonclustered index by default. Another
major difference is that, primary key doesn't allow NULLs,
but unique key allows one NULL only.
