Im bulding a site that pulls links from twitter and counts the results from it. Ive been thinking about using the actual URL as the PRIMARY KEY instead of using an auto_increment integer. The url’s being pulled will be unique and related to trend tracking. Is this a bad idea and should i stick with an integer?
As long as you can guarantee that they are unique you can definitely use the URL as the key.
