We can insert any number of null values in the column which
contains the unique key
the reason is NULL is not equal to anothere NUll
so each null is different so there is no question of
duplication
If we use more than one, it leads to
duplicate, which effects the fundamental property of unique
key.
But......

Yes,We should .That's the significance of Unique Key
If you insert data into Unique Key column it checks for the
uniqueness of THIS NON NULL UNIQUE COLUMNAR DATA
Unique in similar to primary key but one difference's
primary key duplicate records not allow and not null value
and uniquie allow one null value and duplicate records
Yes , More than one field can be NULL in a unique Key
column. Because a Null values is not equal to another null
value. So, no duplicate value is there.
yes,we can use more than one null value for unique key.
Bcz all null values are unique,
thing is that null is unknown ,unassignable,
undefind ,inapplicable value and allwase null is not equal
to null and any arithimitic operation and logical
comparision all wase result null
no because primary key is the unique value of the table that
can not allow null&duplicate value.
so it is not possiblity use more than one null value and
duplicate valu
No, we cannot use more than one null value in unique key.
This is the major difference between primary key and unique
key.
Primary key cannot contain null values
Whereas unique key can contain only one null value
Yes we can..
Hey guys.. don't be confused with the values and nulls.
Unique key conforms only the values to be unique. Since the
nulls are not any kind of value, they can occur as many
times as they can.. nulls are nothing..
The answer to this question depends on the database that we
are using
1. In SQL Server and DB2, we can insert only one null value
in the Unique Key column.
2. In Oracle, we can insert multiple null values
Yes, we can use multiple Null values in case of Unique Key
Column. This is one the main difference between Unique Key
and Primary Key that Unique Key always allows multiple
entries of Null Statement where as Primary Key never allows
this.
I am hereby giving you a very very basic example which
suggests that Unique Key can have more than one Null
Statement :-
SQL> create table abcd(name varchar2(10) unique);
Table created.
**********************
Now insert the values :-
SQL> insert into abcd(name)values('amit');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into abcd(name)values('ami');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into abcd(name)values(null);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into abcd(name)values(null);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into abcd(name)values(null);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from abcd;
NAME
----------
amit
ami
Here blank space above represents the entries of null
statements..!!
