There is a standard, and it defines four ways to create UUIDs. AFAIR, no one has ever claimed that there is another recognized way that we don't support. So I don't think that's really the argument. The argument was that we don't want to bother. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
