Are there any drawbacks of using BYTEA for PK compared to using a
primitive/atomic data types like INT/SERIAL? (like significant
performance hit, peculiar FK behaviour, etc).
I plan to use BYTEA for GUID (of course, temporarily I hope, until
PostgreSQL officially supports GUID data type), since it seems to be the
most convenient+compact compared to other data types currently
available. I use GUIDs for most PK columns.
