Hi,

We are currently using a 32byte varchar for our primary keys. We tried to reduce this down to 16 bytes but varchar didn’t seem to store this correctly. I’d like to use bytea instead so we could use 16bytes, but are indexes used properly ? Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to store guids ? We don’t have any experience in recompiling the postgres source code etc.

 

Thanks
