Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently an UUID is always stored as a VARCHAR(36), but since UUIDs are just hex values with seperators, they could be stored in a BINARY(16).
Describe the solution you'd like
- An option in the Column annotation like
preferBinary - A setting in the ORMConfig like
preferBinaryUuids

Research direction
Start by locating the Column annotation and ORMConfig, then trace how UUID fields are currently mapped to VARCHAR(36). Determine how the requested preferBinary and preferBinaryUuids options should interact, and define completion around storing UUIDs as BINARY(16) through those configuration paths.
