Explanation:
PRIMARY KEY Constraint
A PRIMARY KEY constraint creates a primary key for the table. Only one primary key can be
created for each table. The PRIMARY KEY constraint is a column or a set of columns that uniquely
identifies each row in a table. This constraint enforces the uniqueness of the column or column
combination and ensures that no column that is part of the primary key can contain a null value.
Note: Because uniqueness is part of the primary key constraint definition, the Oracle server
enforces the uniqueness by implicitly creating a unique index on the primary key column or columns.
