How should I store GUID in MySQL tables?
Hello,
To represent a GUID in MySQL, should I just use varchar? Also, since it is something that will be used to recognize a user, should it be encrypted? Or does that lost the point of having the GUID? 🙂
Thanks!
Yes, a varchar would be a good choice. Maybe even char, because the length is fixed, tough I don’t know if you’d gain anything.
And I can’t see why you would want to encrypt it.
