Don't you mean raw number as 16 byte, which is what I intend to use
binary(16) on MySQL if I'm going to use MySQL as DB, rather than 32/36
character string?
Character is a byte ;)
Firebird we can use character string as 16 bytes. The 'improvement' is to
provide a proper data type for it, and then return a 'UUID' rather than '16
character string'.
