Ah, yeah that changes the playing field for sure.<div><br></div><div>The problem with CHAR is the INSERT speed though, and I&#39;ve seen similar issues on other builds too.. after you push past a few million rows, it really starts to slow down..

I frequently see ones for example of $UUID@$<a href="http://SERVER.COM" target="_blank">SERVER.COM</a> - far longer than 128bits, and using characters other than 0-9A-F so that it can&#39;t be folded into bits.</div>

<blockquote type="cite"><div>Another possibility you haven&#39;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&#39;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>
