Hello everyone, I am trying to import legacy data into a new DHIS2 installation using custom code.
While adding new entries into a database table, I need to assign new UID values. What is the algorithm I should use to generated these IDs ? I tried using a postgresql extension called uuid-ossp and the function uuid_generate_v1() that comes with that extension. But it generates uuid of the format ebe87e56-8624-11e6-a4ce-040157be4e01 and it's bigger than what CHARACTER VARYING(11) can hold. Any idea what strategy should I follow here to easily generate UIDs while inserting database entries? Thanks in advance. - Arun Paul
