Hi,

Constraint is for maintaining integrity purposes so control of your data index is for selecting purposes mainly, so eg speed of getting your data

Hello Gurus,

I would like to know whether creating an unique-index on a column or a unique constraint on a column(during creation of the table) would be fine.

Which option would be better?

TIA
Regards
Vishak
