Added a rule stating that identifiers must be uniquely named within a database schema or object, including an example demonstrating naming conflicts. I can't find any other documentation on this, so it would be helpful (assuming I'm understanding correctly) to have this available. I ran into a naming conflict and didn't realize there's a bit more specificity to naming.

Pull request overview
Adds documentation to clarify identifier naming scope/uniqueness rules in SQL Server, motivated by encountering a naming conflict during object creation.
Changes:
- Adds a new “uniqueness” rule under regular identifier rules.
- Adds a T-SQL example showing a duplicate primary key constraint name conflict.
- Adds a note contrasting schema-scoped uniqueness (constraints) with table-scoped uniqueness (columns).
Added explanation about unique identifiers for constraints and provided SQL examples to illustrate primary key naming conflicts.

I implemented the suggestions from Copilot. |
