Hi,

We are about to change our system from depending on ino:id to an attribute id instead eg.

client name
client title
etc.

Unique IDs were discussed in this thread:
Former discussion about IDs
where several solutions were proposed.
Our plan is to make our own UID generator to supply a UID wrapper class.

My question is about what type this id should be to obtain the best performance?
My first choice would be int or long instead of text.

Regards
