Those who know more about this, please correct me if I'm wrong, but would it
work to:

CREATE DOMAIN "UNIQUEIDENTIFIER" AS CHAR(38) NOT NULL;

Would the the datatype in this case be returned as CHAR(38) or as
UNIQUEIDENTIFIER?

We'll be struggling with this at my office at some point in the not too
distant future as well.

Thanks,

Brian
