Here's the solution for Oracle. It's a different algorithm than that used in CF but hopefully it will still be unique to a reasonable level of certainty.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GetCFUUID RETURN VARCHAR IS tmpVar VARCHAR (32); GetCFUUIDRet VARCHAR(35); BEGIN tmpVar := SYS_GUID(); GetCFUUIDRet := SUBSTR(tmpVar,1,8)||'-'||SUBSTR(tmpVar,9,4)||'-'||SUBSTR(tmpVar,13,4)||'-'|| SUBSTR(tmpVar,17,16); RETURN GetCFUUIDRet; END GetCFUUID; -----Original Message----- From: James Holmes Sent: Thursday, 10 March 2005 8:40 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: UUID creation outside CF I want a UUID that will work in CF when selected, so I need to write a wrapper function around NewID() or SYS_GUID() as I previously discussed (to change the hyphenation).
