What is UNIQUE KEY Constraint in SQL Server?

Unique key constraint is same as Primary key Constraint it doesn’t allow duplication or repetition of data in column and we can uniquely identify records in table. The main difference is Primary Key constraint won’t allow null values but unique key constraint allows null values. We have a chance to define only one primary key on table but we can define many unique key constraints on table (Read more Here)
