UUID as primary key?¶
Problems with an auto incrementing key¶
- IDs are usually exposed
- So if someone wants to know how many users you have, they just have to create a new user
- If you're monkeying in the db, you can't accidentally delete a row in another table
Why not a UUID¶
- isn't this bad for cluster indexes?
- you could use a UUID v1
- that would expose a date
