Re: Using char(36) as a uuid
There is some debate that keys should be meaningful, and I get that - but a UUID is as meaningless as an auto incremented key. With judicious use of routes, configuration, and other such bits you can utterly hide your IDs from public scrunity if that is what you're worried about... personally I find it much easier to navigate to posts/5 as opposed to posts/aeasd12382nd2jujud3nx3juo3ehu9282 but maybe thats just me.

Re: Using char(36) as a uuid
Whats the reason for disliking auto-incrementing numbers? Its probably the best thing about databases.

Re: Using char(36) as a uuid
it will slow things down and it will store a lot of overhead data (due to the byte size of those chars compared to integers). but if speed isnt that big of an issue you are fine. it gets problematic in the 1 to 5 record area everything from then on you will really feel - especially with some more joins going on in one project the boss wanted to use UUIDs everywhere. database size is more than twice it would be with AIIDs (due to many foreign_id fields). I personally favor a mix (only there where necessary) but that has other downsites or limitations. so in the end it is a matter of personal preference as long as the data stays in a specific range.

Using char(36) as a uuid
Hello, I was thinking about the use of integer as primary key of the table or use a char(36) as UUID in the entire project, What I dont like about the integer, is the auto increment number, So I decided to use char(36) 'cause cake automatically fill it with an UUID, but I dont know if this can slow down the search in DB. So, anyone who used this before, please tell me about that. Is that right to use this in tables like: Users, Cars, Categories?
