md5 has as primary id
Hello,
I have a table filled with sensitive data. I wanted to avoid the
conicidental retrieval or results through "guessing" an id. I
therefore thought of using a md5-hash as the primary id. What
implications will I have as the database fills? Will it be
significantly slower than using a simple integer id, or will there not
be that much of a difference, since it is unique and indexed?
Thanks for your reply
