Hi!
Is VARBINARY useful?
You can have a 64K binary object that we will sort based on the bits.
It does mean you could look up a record via another one... though that
would be pretty expensive compared to just using a precomputed MD5.
The saving grace of this thing is if you didn't want UTF8 you could
just use it.. though the sort would be all FUBAR because of case.
Cheers,
-Brian
