For example, you want to set 40% alpha transparence to #000000
(black color), you need to add 66
like this #66000000
.
Binary UUIDs are much more efficient in space and lookups compared to VARCHAR or CHAR UUIDs. To better exmplain how they work I have a few examples of raw sql and how that translates in a programming language like Ruby using the UUID tools module. All examples will reference the following database table and schema.
Table name: users
id :uuid(16)
first_name :string(255)
last_name :string(255)
