do you realize, that the - and .tga characters amount to a rounding error in your memory usage? this is a silly suggestion.

why would you install a gigantic database management server with all of the overhead of a relational database when you really only need a uuid lookup?

yes. mysql is almost entirely the wrong tool for this job. even sqlite is probably overkill.
