Subject How Firebird Indexes GUID fields?
Author Scott Price
Hi folks,


I was just wondering if those in the know would mind telling me how
Firebird indexes GUID fields, and in particular what bytes are of
primary importance?

I have been reading the article:

The Cost of GUIDs as Primary Keys
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=25862

and am wondering how Firebird indexes the GUID field values, and how to
write a a COMB type class that produces a GUID value optimized for
Firebird indexing.

I eagerly look forward to the discussion.


Regards,


Scott Price :)
