Functions defined

This extension intends to emulate the PostgreSQL uuid-ossp extension, so it defines the following functions:

Functions for UUID Generation

• uuid_generate_v1() -> uuid
• uuid_generate_v1mc() -> uuid (synonym for uuid_generate_v1)
• uuid_generate_v3(namespace uuid, name text) -> uuid
• uuid_generate_v4() ->
• uuid_generate_v5(namespace uuid, name text) -> uuid

Functions returning UUID Constants

The RFC4122 defines 4 UUID namespaces that PostgreSQL uuid-ossp extension returns in the following 4 functions:

• uuid_ns_dns() -> uuid
• uuid_ns_url() -> uuid
• uuid_ns_oid() -> uuid
• uuid_ns_x500() -> uuid

That RFC also defines a Nil UUID:

• uuid_nil() -> uuid
