Managing UNIQUE constraints

For a column, a UNIQUE constraint specifies that the values in the column must be unique. For a table, the UNIQUE constraint identifies one or more columns that uniquely identify each row in the table. No two rows in the table can have the same values in all the named column(s). A table can have more than one UNIQUE constraint.
