PFA implementation of guard checks, but I'm afraid that this can cause failures in ID generation unexpected to the
user...
See tests
+-- errors in edge cases of UUID v7
+SELECT 1 FROM uuidv7('1970-01-01 00:00:00+00'::timestamptz - interval '0ms');
+SELECT uuidv7('1970-01-01 00:00:00+00'::timestamptz - interval '1ms'); -- ERROR expected
+SELECT 1 FROM uuidv7(uuid_extract_time('FFFFFFFF-FFFF-7FFF-B000-000000000000'));
+SELECT uuidv7(uuid_extract_time('FFFFFFFF-FFFF-7FFF-B000-000000000000')+'1ms'); -- ERROR expected
Range is from 1970-01-01 00:00:00 to 10889-08-02 05:31:50.655. I'm not sure we should give this information in error
message...
Thanks!
