Constraint Naming Conventions

Check Key Constraints => CK_ParentTable_Column
E.g.: CK_Employee_EmployeeId
Default Key Constraints => DF_ParentTable_Column
E.g.: DF_Employee_EmployeeId
Foreign Key Constraints => FK_ParentTable_ChildTable_Column
E.g.: FK_Employee_Job_EmployeeId
Primary Key Constraints => PK_ParentTable_Column
E.g.: PK_Employee_EmployeeId

Unique Key Constraints => IX_ParentTable_Column
E.g.: IX_Employee_Email

CREATE TABLE SYNTAX

CREATE TABLE employee (
EmployeeId INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1, 1),
FirstName VARCHAR(255),
LastName VARCHAR(255),
Email VARCHAR(255) CONSTRAINT IX_Employee_Email UNIQUE
)

ALTER TABLE SYNTAX

ALTER TABLE employee
ADD CONSTRAINT IX_Employee_Email UNIQUE(Email)
