<blockquote type="cite"><div>Another possibility you haven't looked at is having a table of UUIDs with a BIGINT auto_increment PK and using that as keys in other takes with a foreign key relationship (whether defined or implied). That would give you a smaller integer (hence faster select/insert/join/etc) that's still guaranteed to be unique. Though the auto_increment INSERT could then become a bottleneck (hint run a recent 5.5/5.6 MySQL version at the very least since that bottleneck while still present was very much reduced).<div>
