RE: possible to have a primary key with a bitmap indx?

It's not possible:

SQL> create bitmap index emp_empno_b on emp(empno);

Index created.

SQL> alter table emp add constraint emp_pk primary key(empno) using index emp_empno_b novalidate;
alter table emp add constraint emp_pk primary key(empno) using index emp_empno_b novalidate
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01418: specified index does not exist

SQL> drop index emp_empno_b;

Index dropped.

SQL> create index emp_empno_b on emp(empno);

Index created.

SQL> alter table emp add constraint emp_pk primary key(empno) using index emp_empno_b novalidate;

Table altered.
