The ``uuid'' PostgreSQL package implements creation of Universally
|
||
|
|
Unique Identifiers (UUIDs), also referred to as Globally Unique
|
||
|
|
Identifiers (GUIDs). Although PostgreSQL supports storing UUIDs as a
|
||
|
|
native datatype, it does not provide any mechanism for creating them.
|
||
|
|
This package wraps openssl-supplied md5 and sha1 functions to create
|
||
|
|
UUIDs within PostgreSQL.
