cpopham Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 I am creating a database and want to create GUIDs in vb .net to use in the database. I can not find the answer to my question. How many characters are in a GUID or is it random after a minimum amount of characters? Thanks, Chester Quote ____________________________________________ http://www.pophamcafe.com I am starting a developers section, more tutorials than anything.
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted April 4, 2005 Administrators Posted April 4, 2005 GUIDS are not really character strings, rather they are a binary value that is often displayed in one or more character based formats. IIRC they are 128 bits (16 bytes). Quote Posting Guidelines FAQ Post Formatting Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. -- Albert Einstein
HJB417 Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 guid = 16 hex values a varchar(16) or char(16) should do. Quote
