Managing UNIQUE constraints

You can create and drop UNIQUE constraints for columns in Sybase Central.

Prerequisites

DBA authority.

Context and remarks

Spatial columns cannot be included in a UNIQUE constraint.

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 identify unique rows 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.
