But 8.3 still does not generate UUIDs, only stores/compares them. From  
the link above:

For reasons mentioned by the other poster, it would be helpful if  
PostgreSQL could generate them. Is there really more than 2 or 3  
needed options where it would be huge code bloat to include sufficient  
alternatives?
