Who said Primary key column cannot have null values...Here is a method you can create primary key with null values...
Create a table with null values.
create table tbl_null (a number);
insert into tbl_null values (null);
insert into tbl_null values (null);
insert into tbl_null values (null);
insert into tbl_null values (null);
commit;
select * from tbl_null;
4 rows selected
Now create a table with primary key column having null values..
Create table tbl_pri_null ( a primary key) as select * from tbl_null;
Table created
desc tbl_pri_null
Name - A
Null ? - Not Null
Type - Number
Select * from tbl_pri_null;
4 rows selected
All null values.....
Thats it. Folks!
Try and have fun....

Hi Sachin,
Try that in Oracle 9i. Oracle might have fixed that bug in 10g...
