Hi.

In a heap table does index get placed on every column or only some? Can you force uniqueness by using it?

For example, in a product table
ID int PK
product_code varchar(5)
product_abbrv varchar(10)

I need to be able to search quickly by both ID and product_code, and enforce unique product_code to prevent entering new products w/conflicting product codes.

Thanks for reading, any help will be appreciated.
