Apr 8, 2014 #Question of the Week
Question:- How many NULL value allowed in a column in which Unique constraint is defined in SQL Server?

Options:-

a) 1

b) 2

c) More than 1

Answer :- Option a) 1

In SQL Server, we can Insert only one null value in a column where we have defined the Unique Constraint.

For Example , suppose we made a table test_unique, whose script is given below:-

create table test_unique (id int unique)

Now we insert the following values in it.

insert into test_unique(id) values (1)

insert into test_unique(id) values (2)

insert into test_unique(id) values (NULL)

insert into test_unique(id) values (3)

Here we inserted one null value before inserting 3.

If we see the records in the table , it shows the following data.

Let try to insert another NULL value and see what error it gives.
