Constraints and data defaults

You're now going to practice creating a table with some constraints! Often, you'll need to make sure that a column is unique, nullable, a positive value, or related to a column in another table. This is where constraints come in.

As Jason showed you in the video, in addition to constraints, you can also set a default value for the column if no data is passed to it via the default keyword on the column.
