What�s the difference between a primary key and a unique key?

Both primary key and unique enforce uniqueness of the column on which they are defined.
But by default primary key creates a clustered index on the column, where are unique creates a nonclustered index by default.

Another major difference is that, primary key doesn�t allow NULLs,
but unique key allows one NULL only.
