There are 2 ways to Convert a string to a UniqueIdentifier (GUID) in SQL Server:
SELECT CAST(‘449141d9-86c9-449d-be2c-1f171b4f4567’ as UNIQUEIDENTIFIER)
SELECT CONVERT(UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, ‘449141d9-86c9-449d-be2c-1f171b4f4567’)

Hi, I have a question.
Want to know which one will perform better when converting varchar to uniqueidentifier OR nvarchar to uniqueidentifier? Thanks in advance!
