Hi All,
FB 1.5 RC 7
I am using PowerDesigner as my modelling tool and generate the following CREATE TABLE ddl:
create table CDS_SYSTEM (
NAME VARCHAR(100) not null,
VALUE VARCHAR(100) not null,
constraint PK_CDS_SYSTEM primary key (NAME)
);
create unique asc index CDS_SYSTEM_PK on CDS_SYSTEM (
NAME
);
My question is since there is already a primary key, is the unique index still needed?
What is the benefit of having unique index since we already got a primary key in the table ?
Thanks.
