Oracle 12c automatically creates an index for which type of constraints?
a. NOT NULL
b. PRIMARY KEY
c. FOREIGN KEY
d. UNIQUE KEY
e. none of the above
f. only a and b
g. only b and d

Expert Solution
Step 1

Primary key:

  • Primary key constraint gives uniqueness to an index.
  • It uniquely defines a record and it has a single field or combination of fields.
  • For primary key constraints Oracle 12c creates an index automatically.
Step 2

Unique key:

  • It has same properties like primary key.
  • These two keys are created for a column. By using unique key and primary key the user need not to perform full table scan, a value in a table can find without full table scan.
  • Unique key creates an index in Oracle 12c automatically.
