Answer / suresh kumar somayajula
Unique Key allows NULL value and a table can have more than
one UNIQUE KEY Constraint.
Primary Key is the combination of UNIQUE+NOT NULL,means it
won't allow NULL Values and a table can have only one
Primary Key.But a table can have Composite Primary Key.
Thank you,
