使用string作为主键的另一个问题是，由于索引不断按顺序排列，当创建一个新键时，索引必须重新排序……如果使用自动编号整数，则新键只添加到索引的末尾。

是的，但除非您希望有数百万行，否则不使用基于字符串的键(因为它较慢)通常是“过早优化”。毕竟，字符串存储为大数字，而数字键通常存储为较小的数字。

不过，要注意的一件事是，如果您在任意键上聚集了索引，并且在索引中进行了大量的非顺序插入。写入的每一行都将导致索引重新写入。如果您正在进行批量插入，这确实会降低过程的速度。

从性能的角度来看-与使用整数(PK)实现的性能相比，Yes字符串(PK)将降低性能，其中PK—>主键。

From requirement standpoint - Although this is not a part of your question still I would like to mention. When we are handling huge data across different tables we generally look for the probable set of keys that can be set for a particular table. This is primarily because there are many tables and mostly each or some table would be related to the other through some relation ( a concept of Foreign Key ). Therefore we really cannot always choose an integer as a Primary Key, rather we go for a combination of 3, 4 or 5 attributes as the primary key for that tables. And those keys can be used as a foreign key when we would relate the records with some other table. This makes it useful to relate the records across different tables when required.

因此，为了优化使用-我们总是将1或2个具有1或2个字符串属性的整数组合在一起，但同样只是在需要时才这样做。

Technically yes, but if a string makes sense to be the primary key then you should probably use it. This all depends on the size of the table you're making it for and the length of the string that is going to be the primary key (longer strings == harder to compare). I wouldn't necessarily use a string for a table that has millions of rows, but the amount of performance slowdown you'll get by using a string on smaller tables will be minuscule to the headaches that you can have by having an integer that doesn't mean anything in relation to the data.

变量太多了。这取决于表的大小，索引，字符串键域的性质…

一般来说，整数会更快。但差别大到足以让人在意吗?这很难说。

另外，你选择字符串的动机是什么?数字型的自动递增键通常也容易得多。是语义上的吗?方便?复制/断开连接问题?你的回答可能会限制你的选择。这也会让你想起你忘记的第三个“混合”选项:Guids。
