I have a primary key (column name is emp_id) in employee table. Also,
I would like to make a combination of other two columns is unique.
(combination of officecode field and claimno field must be unique).

Hi TGEAR,
CREATE TABLE Demo
(PrimaryKeyColumn int NOT NULL
,HalfOfOtherKeyColumn int NOT NULL
,OtherHalfOfOtherKey int NOT NULL
,SomeOhterKeyForFun int NOT NULL
,CONSTRAINT pk_Demo PRIMARY KEY (PrimaryKeyColumn)
,CONSTRAINT uq_Demo UNIQUE (HalfOfOtherKeyColumn, OtherHalfOfOtherKey)
);

alter table employee
add constraint officecode_claimno
unique (officecode, claimno)
