  1. Unique Identifiers in the Database World: Unveiling UUIDs and Their Pros & Cons
    Choosing the Right Key:While UUIDs offer unique advantages, they aren't always the best choice. For typical databases with simple needs
  2. Alternatives to Clustered Indexes on GUID Columns: Ensuring Efficiency in SQL Server
    A clustered index is a special type of index in SQL Server that physically orders the data rows in the table based on the values in the index
  3. Ensuring Data Integrity: Choosing the Right Primary Key Strategy for Your Database
    Database: A structured collection of data organized for efficient access and manipulation.Primary Key: A unique identifier for each record in a database table
  4. Understanding GUIDs and the (Nearly) Impossibility of Collisions in SQL Server

  5. Guiding Your Way to Better Performance: Choosing the Right Identifier for Your Database
    Standard Guids: These are 128-bit values generated randomly, ensuring uniqueness across different systems and databases
  6. RAW(16) vs. CHAR(32): Choosing the Right Way to Store GUIDs in Oracle
    This is the recommended approach for storing raw binary data like GUIDs.A RAW(16) column can hold exactly 16 bytes, the same size as a standard GUID
