You are concerned about using 16 bytes instead of 4? IMO you should be
using 40-byte uuids for everything these days.
Craig Boyd's VFPEncryption allows for the 40-byte one, but I preferred
the 16-byte instead. A colleague had said however that those large keys
don't do well in the SQL Server index world (it's late so I can't recall
the specifics but something about balancing I thought).
So why do you say 40-byte is the way to go? What's the advantage?
Certainly the index sizes are larger (and that's not good).
