Hi All! I've ported uniqueidentifier datatype to PostgreSQL 7.2.X. It's available at http://www.taurussoft.org/files/uniqueidentifier-0.1.9.2.tar.gz Version for 7.1.X is available at http://www.taurussoft.org/files/uniqueidentifier-0.1.9.1.tar.gz The only difference between two releases is adoptation to 7.2.X system catalog. No new functions/bugfixes.
Uniqueidentifier datatype is 128-bit (16 byte) wide datatype claims to be unique across Universe. It's a good choice for primary indexes and making relations between tables. This inplementation depends on libuuid library from e2fsprogs package by Theodore Ts'o. Licence is LGPL.
