The problem is that most of the standard methods are platform dependent, as they require MAC addresses or a "good" random source, for instance. I'm not sure how we wanted to solve that, but certainly leaving the uuid type with *no* method to generate one is pretty poor. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
