> With UNIQUE contraint, you get an error message which indicates you also need explicit NOT NULL constraint for PRIMARY KEY constraint, which is not true . NOT NULL is implicit for PRIMARY KEY (or more precise according to the lingo in the SQL standard: PRIMARY KEY is an alternative syntax for UNIQUE NOT NULL)
> ij> create table t1 (i integer unique);
> ERROR 42831: 'I' cannot be a column of a primary key or unique key because it can contain null values.
> ij> create table t2 (i integer unique not null);
> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
> ij> create table t3 (i integer primary key);
> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
> ij> create table t4 (i integer primary key not null);
> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
