The UUID (that 35 digit thing) is unique because it combines the network card ID with the exact second the id is created. It means that servers can exchange records without risking any dupes. Very handy if you are syndicating your farCry content.

This is something I have been thinking about, and was just curious about.
I noticed that the objectid always is a alphanumeric string, how come the objectid is not just a number like 220 or 189.
Looking at the database it seems all objects are referenced from the refobjects table, so it seems possible to do, I am just not sure why it's not (perhaps a design issue I have been missing).
Personally I have always used plain numeric values for all primary keys in my tables, as a computer can compare and processes a number faster than it can a string of characters.
Just trying to understand FarCry more.
Thanks,
