Is a VFP uniqueidentifier the same as a Guid?

Question

Hi

I'm converting a foxpro database to SQL Server and some of the keys are VFP-generated unique identifiers - GUIDs I assume. Are these valid uniqueidentifiers?

Can I just use the bytes and convert them easily into a uniqueidentifier in SQL Server?

Thanks,

Craig

Answer 1

yes it is the same

Answer 2

VFP's unique identifiers are just integers, not GUIDs. By default, they start from 1 and go up by 1.
