Using GUIDs as Primary Keys

Post by hopewell » Tue Dec 03, 2013 2:39 pm

Howdy,

I have to convert a schema in MS SQL Server that uses GUIDs (16 byte uniqueidentifier data) for primary keys for the tables. Is it ok to use these in Vertica or is it better (recommended) to create new surrogate keys as an identity column or sequences value?
