Speaking of RDBMs, how good are UUIDs when making joins and fetching a certain record?


More or less identical to integer ids - they're stored and referenced as a 16-byte integer.

Unless you're manually storing them as strings... (Not ideal, but most dbs are pretty good at dealing with that too)


so I have to pick a certain MySQL type?
