I'd rather we do creation like this: CREATE TABLE x ( id uuid PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4(), y integer ); Then a model with uuid primary keys should act the same as one using auto incrementing keys. IIRC, there is code in AR that depends on the database generating the record's ID. If the DB generated the uuid, everything should Just Work(tm) (I think). > So far everything works A-OK.

Can we just modify the migration code to use the above form of CREATE TABLE? -- Aaron Patterson http://tenderlovemaking.com/
