Comment Comment by jandrewrogers There are two issues not mentioned in the other comments with a random 128-bit UUID in real systems, both related to data scale:- They defeat data compression, which is an integral part of many database engines these days for both performance and scalability reasons.- For some very large systems, there is a UUID collision tail risk that while small is large enough to be plausible. parent jandrewrogers 5 years ago
- They defeat data compression, which is an integral part of many database engines these days for both performance and scalability reasons.
- For some very large systems, there is a UUID collision tail risk that while small is large enough to be plausible.
