Hi All!
The uniqueidentifier Project is now fully imported to GBorg
(http://gborg.postgresql.org). Versions for PostgreSQL 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3
are available for download from project page.
Uniqueidentifier is a 16-byte datatype widely used in computer world to
identify entities (it claims uniqueidentifier is unique across
Universe). Uniqueidentifier datatype is good for primary indexes and
joins between tables. This datatype has index support, function for
creating new identifier and (version for PostgreSQL 7.3) cast to text
datatype. This implementation depends on libuuid from e2fsprogs from
Theodore Ts'o.
