[MonetDB-users] Support for ANSI 1992/99 BIT

Although ANSI 2003 eliminated the BIT data type, I was wondering if anyone has developed support for this in MonetDB. Specifically we would like to store UUIDs in a column, as a 128 bit BIT type. Storing a UUID in its canonical string form (36 characters = 288 bits) seems inefficient. We would also like to consider using bit masks for access control. Thanks
