Re: [NF] Getting MySQL integer primary keys (NOT AUTOINC) idea...similar to VFP's old IF SEEK("TheTable","Keys","TheTable") AND RLOCK('Keys') idea

Paul,

If I were to say "that's overkill for my application's needs" you would say....?

Just wondering what I'm not understanding here. Is it that I'm thinking too small?

I created the new incarnation of FabMate a year ago with 16-byte character keys. Works fine, but I wanted to entertain the idea of using integer keys again instead (because I love the idea of 4 bytes instead of 16)

You are concerned about using 16 bytes instead of 4? IMO you should be using 40-byte uuids for everything these days.
