So then, in theory, if we are utilizing the int autoid to generate a
customer number or order number....we in theory should/could still be using
UUID() for future growth potential...does that make sense, a UUID as the PK
and still use the autoid int field...spose it doesn't matter....is that how
y'all handle it?

and in doing this, even with a large table, you find no performance hit
on sql server indexing that column and/or query on that table and using
that column in the where clause?

I've begun to use UUIDs much more often these days...

UUIDs

Unless your database is going to house a terabyte worth of info, the
perofrmance hit is negligable and you will be all set for merges in
replication, easier time porting to different platform, etc...

I have never been a big fan of identities and have never worked with any
DBAs who have been. This topic has been discussed before, lets not blow
it
out of the water again.. search the archives.

Why do you prefer
1. int (Identity / auto_increment)
2. char maybe with CreateUUID()
3. varchar

other?

Thanks!
