Can a clustered index also be an unique index?

Can PostgreSQL index array columns?
Postgres supports indexes for array columns, but the bad thing is it does not for computed array column. There is crosstab table function. It accepts SQL as an input parameter which in turn can be built dynamically. crosstab solution will work and is much more scalable but it’s too way complex, so we even didn’t consider it.
What is a non-clustered ColumnStore index?
Non-clustered columnstore indexes can index subsets of columns. They require extra storage to store a copy of a column in the index and are updated by rebuilding or partitioning the index. Non-clustered columnstores can be combined with other tables and physically store columns in a particular order to optimize compression.
What is non unique index?
Non-unique indexes are not used to enforce constraints on the tables with which they are associated. Instead, non-unique indexes are used solely to improve query performance by maintaining a sorted order of data values that are used frequently.
