Both the `UNIQUE` and `PRIMARY KEY` constraints provide a guarantee for uniqueness for a column or set of columns. However, a primary key can contain only `NULL`, and each table can have only one primary key. On the other hand, a `UNIQUE` constraint allows for one `NULL` value, and a table can have multiple `UNIQUE` constraints.
