Description

All of the optional clauses of the PRIMARY KEY / UNIQUE constraint are removed in Snowflake.

Syntax in SQL Server

{ PRIMARY KEY | UNIQUE }
    [ CLUSTERED | NONCLUSTERED ]
    [ WITH FILLFACTOR = fillfactor ]
    [ WITH ( index_option [, ...n ] ) ]
    [ ON { partition_scheme_name (partition_column_name)
        | filegroup | "default" } ]

Sample Source Patterns

SQL Server

IN -> SqlServer_01.sql

ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name INTEGER
CONSTRAINT constraint_name UNIQUE;

ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name INTEGER
CONSTRAINT constraint_name PRIMARY KEY
NONCLUSTERED;

ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name INTEGER
CONSTRAINT constraint_name UNIQUE
WITH FILLFACTOR = 80;

ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name INTEGER
CONSTRAINT constraint_name PRIMARY KEY
WITH (PAD_INDEX = off);

ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name INTEGER
CONSTRAINT constraint_name UNIQUE
ON partition_scheme_name (partition_column_name);

Snowflake

OUT -> SqlServer_01.sql

ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name INTEGER
CONSTRAINT constraint_name UNIQUE;


ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name INTEGER
CONSTRAINT constraint_name PRIMARY KEY;


ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name INTEGER
CONSTRAINT constraint_name UNIQUE;


ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name INTEGER
CONSTRAINT constraint_name PRIMARY KEY;


ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name INTEGER
CONSTRAINT constraint_name UNIQUE;
