using uniqueidentifier data
« on: February 15, 2010, 08:46:05 AM »
I have a column in my DB that is a uniqueidentifier, I need to display the information.  When I pull this column from the database as a varchar it shows like:

Character string format
'2FD2925D-7542-4481-AE7E-93046117B727'

How do I pull it so I see the actual data it holds? I think the column is suppose to be usernames
There is an area of the mind that could be called unsane, beyond sanity, and yet
not insane. Think of a circle with a fine split in it. At one end there's
insanity. You go around the circle to sanity, and on the other end of the
circle, close to insanity, but not insanity, is unsanity.

nevermind I think from what I read, you're only suppose to compare values to this "unique id" which means it couldn't really be username.
