Use in Database - MySQL

The recommended use for saving UUID values in the database would be to create a BINARY(16) column in the database. When persisting the UUIDs you can UNHEX the hexadecimal representation of the UUID.

TypeORM

await this.model
.createQueryBuilder()
.insert()
.into(Table)
.values({
  uuid: () => `UNHEX('${Uuid.uuid4().getHex()}')`,
})
.execute();

MySQL

INSERT INTO `ActivityDefinition` (`uuid`)
VALUES('UNHEX("616343E4FC6746A598DC73C39C873F34")');
