Answer / ravin
Unique constraint and unique index are different things but
their goals might be similar.
Unique index is created implicitly with the creation of
Primary key and unique key both.
Hence no primary key can be created without a unique index.

Answer / prashant
Primary key = Unique Index + Not NUll Constraint .
So we can create primary key without Unique index ..But it
is created as combination of both (Unique Index + Not NUll
Constraint ) in oracle databases.
We need not have to create Unique index . :)

Answer / sowmya k
Yes we can create a primary key without creating the Unique
key. The primary key concept is same similar to the unique
key. We can set primary key to only one column, but a
unique key constraint can be set to more then one column.
