> Always use a BigInt (64 bits) or UUID for primary keys.

Use bigint, never UUID. UUIDs are massive (2x a bigint) and now your DBMS has to copy that enormous value to every side of a relation.

It will bloat your table and indexes 2x for no good reason whatsoever.

Never use UUIDs as your primary keys.
