I'm *sure* I've seen this discussed on here before - infact I'm worried it might even have been me who asked the
question! 

But I've searched the archives without luck, so here goes :

Is there anything inherently "special" about the UUID type ? i.e. if I store a UUID in a text is it "worse" ?  (I'm
speakinghere about performance & storage, obviously, not the fact that uuid enforces the formatting). 

Thanks !

Laura
