I like to design in n-tier fashion, so that I can use either a VFP or non-VFP (like MySQL) backend on the flip of a switch.
I'm creating a new framework that will use GUID primary keys instead of integers. My question is this: is it best to generate those GUIDs from the app or use some stored proc in the database? I'm thinking the former should suffice, but of course I have slight concern of some freak occurrence of the same string key. Very remote chance probably, but I like to be sure and use the best practice if possible.
