GOAL:
Does Progress SQL server DataServer support uniqueidentifier data type in MS SQL server?
FACT(s) (Environment):
MS SQL DataServer
FIX:
The *uniqueidentifier* data type is referred to as GUID. GUID is a 16-byte globally unique identifier. Usage of this data type will ensure a unique-id for each record in a multi-company database environment. Refer to the following MSDN link for more information about unique identifier data type:

Progress SQL server DataServer does not support this data type, thus there is no support for customers who use this functionality.
