GUID identity

Hello,

I try to use an GUID identity column (GUID / Automatic Number). Previously I
used a Long / Automatic Number and I could use "SELECT @@identity as ID" to
retrieve the ID of each newly created line.
What is the request to use when the identity is a GUID column ???

Please help

Hi, Is there any replace for "Select @@identity" that could return "just inserted" GUID as a primary key? Has anyone tested what's faster, working with Guid or Autonumber ?

I know that this should be impossible, yet it is happening... I have some c# code that uses a method scoped variable of type Guid. The code assigns Guid.NewGuid() to the variable. This value is then used as a primary key in a database table. I have seen two occasions over the last 6 months where after a certain point in time the same Guid is always generated by the code. I have verified that there is nothing static, the code is...

In Access, newID returns a unique for the table. In SQL Server, newid() returns a GUID - unique in the world. I do not need or desire that complexity. Is there a way to get a simple unique int on the table in SQL Server? Brad Eck http://www.sitesdynamic.com http://www.basketsetcetera.com *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Hi there, I need to create a unique identifier for my own internal needs and am happy to rely on "Guid.NewGuid()" to pull this off. I'd like to know if .NET offers any competing alternative however. Perhaps there's something with a richer set of functions for instance and it might offer potential advantages over a GUID. Am just exploring the possibilities for now. Thanks in advance.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
