I write here the answer of Jerry Stuckle [1] because it looks me interesting and enough logical.
Jerry's answer isn't a real answer - and we don't care what MySQL does or does not do. PostgreSQL developers are not going to invest time into helping you get a feature into MySQL - if this is what you are trying to do, please stop.
MySQL didn't implement SQL-standards views until what - MySQL 4 or 5? Obviously "standards" is not their goal either. In Open Source / Free Software, the free contributions are from people with itches that they scratched. In a company like MySQL, it is more about business value or somewhere in between. I was a MySQL 3.x/4.x user until I learned PostgreSQL, and I have no intention of going back. They have so many incorrect assumptions built into their system, that I chose to switch databases instead of arguing with them. It's not worth my time, and I don't intend to go back. So, I will not be helping you get UUID into MySQL because I just don't care about MySQL...
Cheers, mark
[1] http://groups.google.com/group/comp.databases.mysql/browse_thread/thread/89557609239a995e ----------------------- Quite frankly, I don't care that PostGres has user-defined types. They restrict you to a single database, when others might be better for other reasons. And yes, I think other things should have been proposed to the SQL standards committee. It doesn't take that long to get a good proposal into the standards. No, it isn't immediate. But if there is a case to be made for it, then the committee will act. Then all databases get the feature, eventually. As I said. Do it the right way. Submit your proposal. If you have a case, it will be added to the SQL standard. If not, then it's not that important. -----------------------
