We are designing some tables. To continue with this i want following information. pls somebody help me.
Does the length of the primary key in a table affect the performance of the table during insert/update/delete operations. Will a table perform better with smaller key like of varchar2(10) against varchar2(250) may be.

Thanks in advance for your help,
