- mreftel 9y agoThis was on Oracle, which lacks MS SQL's special handling of UUIDs (which speeds up indexes on UUID columns by using the bytes for the time stamp in UUIDv1/v2 as the high-order bytes - clever hack!). But sure, if you need UUIDs and your database has support for speeding them up, by all means, use that. I'd still avoid them given a choice, though.
