Perhaps this would be a good time to bring up my uuid code again. I've got a module for uuid support for postgres. Originally written for 8.4 but I've kept it updated. It's available at https://pd.if.org/git/uuid.git and for anonymous git cloning git clone https://pd.f.org/git/uuid The install directions are perhaps a bit lacking, but after the git checkout: cd uuid make cd postgres make sudo make install psql -c 'create extension pduuid' Installing to different schemas is supported also. The postgres/README file describes the supported features. Briefly, my code supports uuid generation of version 1, 3, 4, and 5 uuids, casting to and from numeric, bit string, and bytea values, and provides a uuid_recent() function to get the most recent uuid generated in that backend. The code is entirely in the public domain. At one point, it compiled on Windows and MacOS, but I haven't tested that recently. I don't think I have changed anything that would affect compiling on those platforms. IIRC, the only platform dependent code is in figuring out a local mac address and a sub-second timestamp.
