hi list
i'm looking for a GUID function in pgsql to ease migration from mssql. several tools rely on a primary key that consists of a guid column. unfortunately, pgsql does not seem to provide such a datatype, and much worse i wasn't even able to find a similar pgsql function that generates a GUID.
the list archives found some discussions about how a guid could be implemented - unfortunately without giving a final solution. is there really no GUID creation function? if so, could it be requested for a (hopefully not so future) pgsql release?
