Use of uniqueidentifer type for primary key?

I'm working on a legacy SQL db. It is distributed, to they are using the uniqueidentifier type for the primary key.

At first, at least, I won't be updating records, but I'm seeing a lot of negativity about using anything other than incrementing integers for the pk--which are obviously inadequate for this environment.

It is enough to use set_primary_key? Do I need more?

Interesting. So the view is defined in the db, not in rails, right?
