I didn't notice that he put 16. Now I'm looking at uuid.c in PostgreSQL 8.3.3 and I see that it does use 16, and the struct pg_uuid_t is length 16. I find myself confused now - why does PostgreSQL define UUID_LEN as 16?

I will investigate if I have time tonight. There MUST be some mistake or misunderstanding. 128-bit numbers should be stored as 8 bytes, not 16.

Grrrr.... Kless you've confused me. 32-bit numbers = 4 bytes, 64-bit numbers = 8 bytes, 128-bit numbers = 16 bytes.

You are out to lunch and you dragged me with you. Did we have beer at least? :-)

Cheers,
