Answer / raji
Indexes may be defined as unique or non-unique. A unique
index acts as a constraint on the table by preventing
identical rows in the index and thus, the original columns.

Answer / c.jagadish
In sqlserver we have two types of indexes (1) Clustered (2)
non clustered indexes.
Indexes may be simple index or composite index.
Index formed based on single column values is called simple
index
index formed based on multiple column values is called
composite index.
Default index is NON CLUSTERED INDEX
When a table contains a primary key column then sqlserver
automatically creates a unique clustered index.
Unique--- automatically creates a non clustered index
so for this reason PRIMARY KEY IS NOT EQUAL TO UNIQUE + NOT
NULL.
