Clustered/non-clustered index on unique identifier column in SQL Server

问题


I have read the various questions/answers here that basically indicate that having a clustered index on a uniqueidentifier column is a poor choice for performance reasons. Regardless, I need to use a uniqueidentifier as my primary key, and I do NOT want to use newsequentialid() because the generated values are too similar to one another (I need more random IDs so users can't [reasonably] 'guess' another ID).

So, what is the best way to index this PK? Even though a clustered index on this column is not ideal, is it better than a "unique, non-clustered" index?

I'm using SQL Server 2005.

First of all, if you are trying to use NEWID() to achieve randomness (more than just looking random), you're in trouble.

It's usually less than ideal choice because other indexes will reference the clustered index key and a long clustered index key will degrade the performance of all indexes. You could create an IDENTITY integer column and make that the clustered index and just create a non-clustered unique index on the uniqueidentifier column.
