Hello.
I am looking at useing uuid's as primary keys rather than a normal
sequence of numbers.
The uuids are long text strings like so:
7559e648-a29c-11d5-952f-00c026a18838
The reason for useing them is that it's almost gaurenteed that
imported data from another site is going to have a unique identifier.
But I was wondering if this will impact on the speed of the database.
In the long run the application does not need to be blindingly fast as 99%
of the time it is waiting on human interaction.
Any ideas?
