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
