Gentleman,

In regards to both your responses to my post.

1) I am certainly not an "ignorant troll" and simply gave my opinion. I have been involved in database design for 20 years and do not appreciate the personal attack. I taught a professional development class in 1997 - 1999 that included database design and implementation long before the use of GUIDs as PKs were available. So I may be "old school" but there is certainly still relevent course material for relational database design that supports my opinion.

2) "a lazy way to maintain uniqueness of data" does not infer that an opposing viewpoint "declares the opposite side to be "lazy", unintelligent, or otherwise lacking the skill". If it was taken that way, it certainly was not my intention and I apologize if you indeed took it this way.

I have been a non-contributing member here for several years. This conversation has definitley pursuaded me to remain a non-contibuting member in the future.

Best regards,

Gene Underwood
