1754174496,I_kwDOCGYnMM5ojpQg,558,Ability to define unique columns when creating a table,1910303,open,0,,,0,2023-06-13T06:56:19Z,2023-08-18T01:06:03Z,,NONE,,"When creating a new table, it would be good to have an option to set unique columns similar to how not_null is set.

```python
from sqlite_utils import Database

columns = {""mRID"": str, ""name"": str}
db = Database(""example.db"")
db[""ExampleTable""].create(columns, pk=""mRID"", not_null=[""mRID""], if_not_exists=True)
db[""ExampleTable""].create_index([""mRID""], unique=True, if_not_exists=True)
```

So something like this would add the UNIQUE flag to the table definition. 

```python
db[""ExampleTable""].create(columns, pk=""mRID"", not_null=[""mRID""], unique=[""mRID""], if_not_exists=True)
```

```sql
CREATE TABLE ExampleTable (
    mRID TEXT PRIMARY KEY
              NOT NULL
              UNIQUE,
    name TEXT
);
