What would be the most efficient data type to store a UUID/GUID in databases that do not have a native UUID/GUID data type? 2 BIGINTs?
And what would be the most efficient code (C# preferred) to convert to and from a GUID to that type?
Thanks.
It’s hard to say what would be the most efficient without knowing the database you are using.
My first inclination would be to use a
binary(16)column.As for using that value in C#, the
System.Guidtype has a constructor that accepts abyte[]array, and a methodToByteArray()that returns a byte array.
