In SQL Server, there is a GUID datatype that we use in our replication. However, we need to determine the feasibility of Oracle as a back end for some customers. In this case, we need to be able to store the GUIDs as we currently do and also allow those fields to be used in replication. Is this possible in Oracle and, if so, what datatype would be used since I haven't seen mention of a GUID datatype in Oracle.

FYI, using Oracle 8i (8.1.7)
