 Q1. What is the relation between Primary Key, Unique and Not Null constraint ?Database
Ans. Primary Key constraint means that the column(s) should be unique and doesn't allow null. So Primary key constraint implies unique and not null constraint too.

Unique constraint implies not null constraint too as allowing null would violate uniqueness on those columns.
