i see a lot of variation out there on this subject. some people are using varchar(64), some varchar(32), and some other non-base2 widths.

what is the proper width? i count 36 characters below, including the four dashes.

mysql> select uuid();
+--------------------------------------+
| uuid()                               |
+--------------------------------------+
| 8ce826a8-2122-1028-88b7-09e76b61a517 |
+--------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)


are there times when the uuid() function produces output of a longer or shorter length than 36 characters?


thanks.
