Differences between Primary index and Unique index

                   Primary Key uniquely identifies the record,
                   UNIQUE index on the primary key ensures that no duplicates values will be stored in the table

1)     Primary key creates an implicit clustered index on a table, 
                     unique key does not create any implicit index.
2)     Columns defined as primary key does not allow null values,
                   where as columns defined as unique can allow null values.
3)     A table can have just one primary key (can be a composite key) 
                   where as there can be multiple unique columns (keys).
4)     Primary key is a unique key with the above mentioned features

Today we will be exploring the new changes  related  to Financial dimensions in AX 2012.

Ø   Technically these dimensions were controlled by Enum SysDimension and an array EDT Dimension. Ø   So If we have 3 enum elements in SysDimension, then its corresponding array elements are stored in    dimension EDT and can be referred as Dimension[0], Dimension[1]..... Ø   If you would like to store these dimension values against customized table, then simply we were adding the EDT Dimension to that Table.

New version AX 2012 (6.0) :   Ø   In AX 2012(6.0), there is no limit to dimension creations. One can create n number of dimensions as per orga
