Yaz, it should. It doesn't ALWAYS create clustered (unique) index for
primary keys, but clustered is the default if you just specify

CREATE TABLE Foo (col1, ...
,PRIMARY KEY(col1, ...)
)

Saying PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED(...) is how you override the default.

((Weird to be discussing so much MSSQL here))
