Answer / ambresh pratap srivastava

primary key is combination of column which uniquely specify a row.A table have at most one primary key. primary key creates Clustered Index.A primary key column allows no row having null value

what is unique key?..

Answer / gyana ranjan behera

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.
