Adding datatype UUID

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      The current way of handling uuid's in MariaDB is not very user friendly. If you want to do it right you have to replace all 4 "-" chars with "" and store it in a binary(16) type and so on. That is a lot of work and sadly people start to use just varchar() for it because it's easier. But that is a huge performence problem.

      To fix that i would propose to add a "uuid" datatype to MariaDB the same way PostgreSQL did it. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/datatype-uuid.html

      That would make working with uuid's a lot easier and faster.
      Thanks and greetings
      Leo
