False. Let’s look at the definition of a table variable:

DECLARE @myTableVar TABLE

(companyID INT NOT NULL,

companySize INT NOT NULL)

The constraints allowed on table variables are: PRIMARY KEY,UNIQUE KEY and NULL.

A PRIMARY KEY constraint can only be defined if certain criteria are met: No duplicate values

A UNIQUE KEY Creates a unique index on a table or view. A unique index is one in which no two rows are permitted to have the same index key value

To create a PRIMARY KEY constraint:

DECLARE @myTableVar TABLE

(companyID INT PRIMARY KEY,

companyName INT NOT NULL)
