Mastering SQL UNIQUE Constraints for Data Integrity

The UNIQUE constraint ensures all values in a specific column are distinct. Unlike a PRIMARY KEY, which enforces both uniqueness and NOT NULL, the UNIQUE constraint is more flexible:

  • Allows NULL values.
  • Supports multiple UNIQUE constraints on a single table.

While SSMS is popular, dbForge Studio for SQL Server offers advanced tools for creating and managing constraints, boosting productivity with intuitive features and streamlined workflows.
