Joerg Schaible commented on LANG-778:
-------------------------------------
bq. OK, so is there any documentation that we can point to which describes the
format of those 16 bytes?
[RFC 4122|http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt], paragraph 4.1.2 defines layout
and byte order. There's no need to reference individual DB vendors.
> Add UUIDUtils.toByteArray and UUIDUtils.fromByteArray

> A UUID represents 16 bytes. In some situation (e.g. using DBs that do not
> have native support for the type UUID) it is necessary to use directly the
> bytes. The JDK does not support the transformation from UUID to bytes and
> back, therefore I'd like to add UUIDUtils with the two proposed methods.
