Answer / krishnaraj p n
UNIQUE constraints can accept NULL just once. If the
constraint is defined in a combination of fields, then
every field can accept NULL and can have some values on
them, as long as the combination values is unique.

No this is not possible... columns with Unique constraint
can only contain 1 null value/row.
@Manish... could you please try this:
create table #tempTable (id int, name varchar(50) unique)
insert into #tempTable
select 1, 'manoj' union
select 2, null union
select 3, null union
select 4, 'pandey'

Answer / maneesh
Yes there can be any number of NULLs.
Remember NULL <> NULL.
So uniqueness will still be there.
Just try it out.
