<div><p>Unique constraints are implemented with indexes. If the table on
which a unique constraint is added was defined with a sort sequence, the index
will be created with that same sort sequence.</p>
<div class="section"><p>If defining a referential constraint, the sort sequence between
the parent and dependent table must match. </p>

<div class="section"><p>The sort sequence used at the time a check constraint is defined
is the same sort sequence the system uses to validate adherence to the constraint
at the time of an INSERT or UPDATE.</p>
