Answer / rams
Primary Key is Unique and Not Null. Unique index can be defined on Primary Key or any other Unique column in the table. Unique index can have a Null Value unlike Primary Key.

Using the Primary Key you can establish referential
integrity. Unix index will be created upon the Primary Key
column, and the data will be seperately placed in the Index
space. If you have not created Unix Index, while accessing
the table it leads to SQLCODE = -540

Primary key: a relational database constraint. Primary key consists of one or more
columns that uniquely identify a row in the table. For a normalized relation, there
is one designated primary key.
Unique index: a physical object that stores only unique values. There can be one
or more unique indexes on a table.
