While I see your point about the database being different, from a technical level, the UUID could have uses that are more forgiving of those differences. Consider: I want to restore a copy of my production database to my testing system and have the same UUID as Live because I have defined a number of config/operational values based on the UUID. > >> Should there be a way to reset UUID for existing database? > > > > Backup-restore. > > Not really handy, I'd say.
