Answer / neha sinha
1) Primary key creates clustered index and unique key
creates non-clustered index. Performance wise clustered
index is fast so we need Primary key.
2)if we need more then one primary key in table than we can
use unique key+NOT NULL becous it behave as Primary key but
we cant define more than one column as primary key. :)

Internally , There is same as primary key and unique not null.
You can say unique + not null is higher step of primary key .
So there is no basic difference between this two.
