Does GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPoint() return the GUID of a volume in c++?

GetVolumeNameForVolumeMmountPoint()
{
LPCTSTR lpszvolumeMountPoint,
LPTSTR lpszVolumeName,
DWORDcchBufferLength,
}

I mean if I am using a removeable disk. will the lpszVolumeName remained the same on the same computer? Does it return a certain ID for a certain volume everytime I insert the disk on my computer' USBport. And Make sure different disk's volumes will get different result? Many Thanks!

MS SQL Database with clustered GUID PKs - switch clustered index or switch to sequential (comb) GUID

We have a database in which all the PKs are GUIDs, and most of the PKs are also the clustered index for the table. We know that this is bad (due to the random nature of GUIDs). So, it seems there are basically two options here (short of throwing out GUIDs as PKs altogether, which we cannot do (at… >>> More
