It seems that someone got bitten very hard in a soft area by a Null one day. On a more practical level, Oracle recommended to design the table with the field where NULLs are to be expected at the end of the table, that saves a little space and two, as the use of indexes is invalidated in case of nulls its is better to place the important indexed fields toward the beginning of the table.
