Table has pair of primary keys and one of them is cluster index.

Is it possible to insert duplicate record to cluster index col but another primary key col record will be unique?

Coz I'm getting error :
Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'table' with unique index 'indexname' .

can you post DDL of your table. and a sample of what are you trying to insert.

obviously you have a constraint set in your primary key that each record must be unique based on two fields. And if you are trying to insert a new record that is same on those two columns (any all the other columns are irrelevant) you get error like you are describing it.

if you want only composite pk relationship to be maintained, there's no need of unique constraint on column at all

Can you please clarify your terms? There can ONLY be ONE Primary Key on a table. So, we know there are not two. Perhaps that table has a Primary Key and a Unique Constaint or a Composite Primary Key?

Post the DDL of your table, and the INSERT statement you are using
