- CHECK - Ensures that all values in a column satisfy a specific condition

Using GUI

Create your table and right click on the column that you want to make it as a primary key constraint and from the context menu select Set Primary Key
In the Column property panel, search for "Identity Specification" expand it and change option "Is Identity" from no to yes
Use Ctrl + S on your keyboard to save the table or click the save icon
