But does it have the frist digit?

Remy, stop trying to make "performant" happen. It's not going to happen.

The dry wit is strong with this one.

UUID() built-in is available in most DBs...

It's already in a dictionary... https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/performant

But not many.

It is bad grammar to say one of those data warehouse tables that exists to make queries performant. You want to say EXIST, because you're describing the class of tables. If you don't like comments about bad grammar, don't use bad grammar.

"Remy, stop trying to make "performant" happen. It's not going to happen." You can have fast, good and cheap. Pick two out of the three.

It's in the OED...

The word "performant" was a word meaning one who performs a ceremony, etc. (Compare with "celebrant", which is one who celebrates.) So it's definitely a word, though obsolete.
As an adjective, it's much more recent, but it is used, and it's in the OED.

The LEFT JOIN is O(N) (well, okay O(N+M)). Let's assume enforcement of 1,000 unique ID's is the aim and we're allowed to not include the non-numeric values in our table... The design is kind of tricky and depends on usage, especially if you want excellent peformantness. Biggest issues are fragmentation (like when using two tables for the approach) and read/write contention.
