We don't know of a better UUID generator, and barring evidence to the contrary, it seems much more efficient to contribute to the uuid-ossp project than to invent our own. As far as I can tell, the UUID extension is designed to support configurable UUID libraries, so if you could find one which worked well for Windows, it would probably be fairly easy to extend UUID to support it. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com San Francisco -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
