1. Primary key creates Clustered Indexes and they are physically sort the data.
2. Oracle server automatically creates and maintains an index on the primary key and because of that searching will be very fast on that table.
3. Primary can be used for referential integrity when dealing with foreign key in child table
1. Unique can have only Non-clustered indexes, where data are not physically sorted.
2. unique key + not null will not create any index on that column(s)
3. Key column should be Primary key column in parent table when when dealing with foreign key
