    I was trying to think in any case, but ateh even in relational tables where the indexation ~ ~ is not important, eh good use key only between the columns that ends up being the pk anyway XD

    I think that depend for what purpose you are creating table for. If 90% of times you will be firing query for taking data from the table which is about more than 20% of total data in table then I think primary key wont be used.
    For inserts, if primary key is not available then no constraint will be checked while inserting which will speedup the insert.
    But having no primary key will have effect on updates and deletes.
