Returning The Value Of A Generated Key On Insert In MSSQL(blogs.ittoolbox.com)

submitted by alexexmachina(1020) 4 years, 9 months ago

When GUIDs Are Good(blogs.ittoolbox.com)

submitted by alexexmachina(1020) 4 years, 9 months ago

Certain Data Architects (Dratz!) will tell you that GUIDs are for miscreants, deviants and DB n00bz. Well, I'm inclined to disagree with that generalization and lay out when GUIDs make perfect sense, when they're improper and why people who use Identity (auto-incrementing) columns shouldn't be allowed to work with databases. read more...

What should I choose for my primary key?(databases.aspfaq.com)

submitted by yesthatmcgurk(4063) 4 years, 10 months ago

This article is an excellent listing of each type and its pros and cons. Protip: Idents are your best bet. From www.codinghorror.com. read more...

GUID Visualizer for Visual Studio 2005(codechimp.org)

submitted by codechimp(345) 5 years, 2 months ago

A simple GUID Visualizer, it just displays a text box displaying the value in string format of the current guid. If you've ever tried debugging guids before you'll know that it's not easy, always giving you a misleading empty, which is actually a property of the guid type rather than its actual value. read more...
