Using GUID / Uniqueidentifier As Primary Key
Jul 6, 2006
<BACKGROUND INFO> We are in the database design stage of creating a db and we plan to use a GUID as the primary key for our tables (the app will be a smart client and will need to support offline functionality so when the app comes back online and the queued up inserts come thru we want to ensure that the primary keys are unique). We plan to have the app generate the guid and to send the GUID over as a parameter i.e.
<code>GUID myPrimaryKey = GUID.NewID(); </code>
and will not be using the DEFAULT NEWID clause on the CREATE TABLE statements.
</BACKGROUND INFO>
<QUESTION > Is it better to make the data type for the primary key columns to be uniqueidentifier or should the datatype be varchar(36).</QUESTION>
I only ask this because the tables have already been created with the primary key columns having a datatype of varchar(36) and changing them would be a little bit of work. Not a big deal but don't want to do it if we don't have to. If its really advantageous we will go ahead and do it but if not we would like to leave it as is. Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi,
I am presently working on a ETL Process of importing data from XML source to the database (SQL Server 2000/2005).
I have GUID data in the XML file and i need to import that data into the database tables.
My Clarification is, if i import the GUID from XML to the database table, in the future, if the Database Engine generates new GUID's for new data, is there a posibility that the database engine might generate SAME guid as the one i imported from XML? As the GUID's in XML were not generated by the target Database Engine, can the database engine possibly generate the same GUID similar to the one i imported from XML?
Regards,
Vikram

Hi,
anyone knows if there's an easy way to insert new GUIDs into uniqueidentifier cells when editing data in table on Management Studio Express? or Visual Studio 2005 Server Explorer? I can't find a shortcut, and copying from external tools is pain..
I suppose it's possible to build a VB macro in Visual Studio, would it work when editing table data?
Thanks in advance!

SQL2K SP4
Greetings. I just inherited doscovered a 3gb DB that is chewing up lots of CPU time on a pretty beefy server. This DB uses 4 main tables. It has many more, but most of the Inserts/ Updates/ Deletes/ and Joins are done mainly on 4 tables. Anyways, I figured out which sprocs use the most CPU between the hours of 7 and 7 every day, off to a good start. The first one is hardly every run. While it is a pig in terms of CPU usage, the amount of times it's run is somewhat minimal compared to others. So the next one is is a sproc that does auto refreshes, and is run every minute by thousands. I start to analyze it, particularly for missing indexes, but all is well. So I'm beating my head up against the wall and I realize, THE CLUSTERED PRIMARY KEY (PK) FOR THESE TABLES USE A GUID DATA TYPE....
So I have some questions about this data type, and also inserting into a clustered PK in general.
Are joins on this data type as bad as joining on varchar columns in terms of speed?
I don't see that any of my insert sprocs are taking a long time. So if an insert occurs, and a page split needs to happen (which is quite potential with this data type as a clustered PK), does it -- A) Begin the insert, complete the insert, then do a page split? Or does it -- B) Begin the insert, do the page split, then complete the insert?
If A, it would make sense that I would see no lag for my insert sprocs, but also see a high CPU usage (provided I have a high number of page splits, which is yet to be determined. If B, I would expect to see a lot of long running insert sprocs, which I don't.

I have a table profiles and a table resumes.
The id's are currently int indentity fields.
I was thinking of using a GUID as ID.
Why would i do this ?
In my webapplication I have i.e. this page
DeleteProfile.aspx?profileId=1
I don't want to give the user the ability to change this to f.e.
DeleteProfile.aspx?profileId=3
A user will almost possibly never guess a certain GUID, right ?
Is this a good idea, or not ?

Hy! I am a beginner in SQLServer and I have to design a database with a lot of tables (30-50 tables). I have to choose a primary key for every table between an autoincrement and a GUID. If I choose autoincrement after an insert statement (from the client) I will have to go back to the server to get the value of the primary key which is a waste of time. On the other hand if I choose a GUID I can create the guid from the client and send him with the other values of the new row to the server and I have not to go back to the server. I am aware of the disk space of a guid field so which is the best for me: GUID or AUTOINCREMENT? Thank you!

I would like to insert into a table with a primary key that has a uniqueidentifier. I would like it to go up by one each time I execute this insert statement. It would be used as my ReportId
My VB code is this.
Protected Sub btncreate_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btncreate.Click
'set connection string
Dim errstr As String = ""
Dim conn = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True")
'set parameters for SP
Dim cmdcommand = New SqlCommand("sprocInsertNewReport", conn)
cmdcommand.commandtype = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmdcommand.parameters.add("@UserName", Session("UserName"))
cmdcommand.parameters.add("@Week", vbNull)
cmdcommand.parameters.add("@Date", vbDate)
cmdcommand.parameters.add("@StartTime", vbNull)

errstr = "Exception: " & ex.Message
Finally
'close the connection immediately
conn.Close()
End Try

Ok, so I've broken down and decided to write myself an invoicing
program. I'd like to use GUID fields as the Primary Keys in my
table. Now, I basicly bill for two seperate items:
Deliverables and Services.
So, my Layout's gonna look something like
Create Table Invoice(
ID UniqueIdentifier Primary Key,
-- Other Data
);
Create Deliverable(
ID uniqueidentifier Primary Key,
ParentInvoice uniqueidentifier,
-- Other data);
--...
Im sure there are probems with that as it's written feel free to edify me as to what they are.
my questions are such:
1) Does a uniqueidentifier field automagically get a value?
2) If not how do I generate one in TSQL?
3) If so, what do I use to store my Foreign Keys.
4) How do I declare my Foreign key constraints?

Hi,
I am using UNIQUEIDENTIFIER column for my table. I do not insert data for it. I left it on database by setting to default NEWID(). Now in my application I need the value of UNIQUEIDENTIFIER column I just inserted. Is there any function or query to get this value like in case of IDENTITY column we can get the latest inserted value from select @@IDENTITY.
Thanks and regards,
Uday

Hey I was curious about the Uniqueidentifier is that better then using the @IDENTITY, apparently the Unique uses your computers mac address as a base???

I have a table with id(uniqueidentifier) as the primary key, and another table with id(int) as the foreign key.
When I try to INNER JOIN them on id=id in a view, I get an error that uniqueidentifier and int are incompatible.
I'm new to SQL SERVER and I consider uniqueidentifier as equal to AutoNumber in MSAccess. Isn't it so? If not, how do I make this JOIN work?

I just want to ask if there is a passible explaination for why this code thosen't generate the proper RETURN VALUE, My coal is when a user uses the asp:CreateUserWizard i retrive GUID from the new account.With this I will check if the relation tabel has that value, so I would like to run this.
Stored Proc.
CREATE PROCEDURE proc_CustomerCheckExist@UserId uniqueidentifierASIF EXISTS (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.aspnet_LD_Customers WHERE UserId = @UserId) Return 1ELSE Return 0GO
Problem is if I take 2 different GUID, I still get the same result "Return 1" as true even if I dont have the GUID in my tabel row

Hello there!
it was a while since i studied SQL and that brings us to my problem...
I'm creating a Stored Procedure wich first insert information in a table. That table has a uniqueidentifier fild that is default-set to newid().
later in the SP i need that uniqueidentifier value? how do I get it?
I tried this:
CREATE PROCEDURE spInsertNews
@uidArticleId uniqueidentifier = newid,
@strHeader nvarchar(300),
@strAbstract nvarchar(600),
@strText nvarchar(4000),
@dtDate datetime,
@dtDateStart datetime,
@dtDateStop datetime,
@strAuthor nvarchar(200),
@strAuthorEmail nvarchar(200),
@strKeywords nvarchar(400),
@strCategoryName nvarchar(200) = 'nyhet'
AS
INSERT INTO tblArticles
VALUES( @uidArticleId,@strHeader,@strAbstract,@strText,@dt
Date,@dtDateStart,@dtDateStop,@strAuthor,@strAutho
rEmail,@strKeywords)
declare @uidCategoryId uniqueidentifier
EXEC spGetCategoryId @strCategoryName, @uidCategoryId OUTPUT
INSERT INTO tblArticleCategory(uidArticleId, uidCategoryId)
VALUES(@uidArticleId, @uidCategoryId)
But i get an error when I EXEC the SP like this:
EXEC spInsertNews
@strHeader = 'Detta är den andra nyheten',
@strAbstract = 'dn första insatt med sp:n',
@strText = 'här kommer hela nyhetstexten att stå. Här får det plats 2000 tecken, dvs fler än vad jag orkar skriva nu...',
@dtDate = '2003-01-01',
@dtDateStart = '2003-01-01',
@dtDateStop = '2004-01-01',
@strAuthor = 'David N',
@strAuthorEmail = 'david@davi.com',
@strKeywords = 'nyhet, blajblaj, blaj'
the errormessage is: Syntax error converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
does anyone have a sulution to this problem?
Can I use something similar to the @@IDENTITY?
I will be greatful for any ideas...
thanks

Hi,
I am writing a C# application that uses a SQL server database to hold its data. I need to create a stored procedure that returns a particular row's primary key value. This is no problem if the primary key is an INT. But my primary key is a unique identifier, and the stored procedure doesn't want to let me return any values that aren't INTs. Can someone please tell me how to get around this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone.
I have 2 tables in MSSQL Server 2000, Products(idProduct, idProductType, name, quatity) and ProductsType(idProductType, name).
idXXXX are the primery keys and the data type is uniqueidentifier.
In table Products, the collum idProductType is a foreign key refering table ProductsType.
I can insert as many product types as i want without any problems.
Insert INTO ProductsType(name) VALUES('milk')
When inserting products i use the idProductType that was automatacly generated in last insert.
INSERT INTO Products (uuidProductType,name,quantity,)
VALUES ('AD9388A3-CA86-482D-B57F-6FA068E7D405','President Milk 50cl',500)

I have searched the forum and i cant find any solution. i need to use uniqueidentifer data types because replication with PDA devices.
Any tips?

I insert a Guid from an asp.net page.
Hope someone can help me here because im am stucked!

VALUES( @uidArticleId,@strHeader,@strAbstract,@strText,@dt Date,@dtDateStart,@dtDateStop,@strAuthor,@strAutho rEmail,@strKeywords)
declare @uidCategoryId uniqueidentifier
EXEC spGetCategoryId @strCategoryName, @uidCategoryId OUTPUT
INSERT INTO tblArticleCategory(uidArticleId, uidCategoryId)
VALUES(@uidArticleId, @uidCategoryId)
But i get an error when I EXEC the SP like this:
EXEC spInsertNews
@strHeader = 'Detta är den andra nyheten',
@strAbstract = 'dn första insatt med sp:n',
@strText = 'här kommer hela nyhetstexten att stå. Här får det plats 2000 tecken, dvs fler än vad jag orkar skriva nu...',
@dtDate = '2003-01-01',
@dtDateStart = '2003-01-01',
@dtDateStop = '2004-01-01',
@strAuthor = 'David N',
@strAuthorEmail = 'david@davi.com',
@strKeywords = 'nyhet, blajblaj, blaj'
the errormessage is: Syntax error converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
does anyone have a sulution to this problem?
Can I use something similar to the @@IDENTITY?
I will be greatful for any ideas...
thanks

Hi:
I am using the built in securty database from vs2005
I am trying to write an insert trigger that will add a role each time a user is added but I seem to be having difficulty I believe it's with the uniqueidentifier datatype. when I run this trigger via an insert statement I get the following error.
Can anyone set me straight?
========error==============
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'RoleId', table 'R:AAAPROJECTSASPVS2005MERCERBUCKSAPP_DATAASPNETDB.MDF.dbo.aspnet_UsersInRoles'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
==================insert statement==========
Declare @NewUserID as uniqueIdentifier
set @NewUserID=newID()
print Cast(@NewUserID as varchar(50))
insert into dbo.aspnet_Users (ApplicationID,UserID,UserName,LoweredUserName,LastActivityDate)
Values('f23f01f0-7ad7-463b-87e2-f3e9141e6426',@NewUserID,'lrchase','lrchase','7/20/2005')
======trigger============================
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER TRIGGER [InsertRole]
ON [dbo].[aspnet_Users]
AFTER INSERT
AS
DECLARE @RoleID uniqueidentifier
DECLARE @UserID uniqueidentifier
Select @UserID=Userid from inserted
Print @UserID
SELECT @RoleID = RoleID
FROM dbo.aspnet_Roles where dbo.aspnet_Roles.LoweredRoleName='user'
Print @RoleID
SET NOCOUNT ON;
Insert Into dbo.aspnet_UsersInRoles
Values(@UserID,@RoleID)
Thanks Len

Hi all,I'm trying to run a select where auniqueidentifier/GUID equals a hex, but I don't seem to be gettingmatches.For example, this query returns the expected record:select * from items where itemGUID ='{11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555}'But this one does not:select * from items where itemGUID = 0x11111111222233334444555555555555Any tips?thanks, -Scott

So, what's the common preference out there for primary and/or surrogate keys? Uniqueidentifier or identity?
(No replication is involved.)

Hai,
Because uniqueidetifier is not an auto generated field, How can be it used with a primary key column ?
Thanks

Hi all
In the database there is a table for customers and a table for the saleman,
the relationship between the 2 table is a uniqueidentifer field
customer table
name salesmanager
company 1 12545-854
salesmanager table
id salesmanager
12545-854 bob smith
I need to update the customer salesmanger field when someone leaves problem is that that field
is a uniqueidentifer and it will not allow me to update
Thanks in advance
rich
