Agree - there are aspects of a UUID that avoid collisions with a far lesser probability than an arbitrary random value. I use this: from django.db import models import uuid class SomeModel(models.Model): id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) ... As already mentioned, using abstract models for this is also useful, helps with DRY. /d -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.

Re: Primary Key AutoField -> UUID Field
Hi Brian, There are existing threads about that (try searching the archives for 'default pk' to find some of them). Here's a PR that adds the setting you described: https://github.com/django/django/pull/13179. Perhaps you would like to try it out and see if it meets your needs.

Re: Primary Key AutoField -> UUID Field
Uri, I would definitely suggest using an actual UUID rather than rolling your own ad-hoc UUID implementation, even if your database does not support a native UUID type. Brian, there is some work ongoing that should make this possible. We will add a setting to control the type of the auto-created primary key type. Initially it will be restricted to AutoField subclasses only, but the intent is to make UUIDFields work with this as well.

Re: Primary Key AutoField -> UUID Field
Hi Brian, In Speedy Net we use a randomly generated string of digits, either 15 digits or 20 digits, as a primary key in all our models. We never use auto-incrementing integers as primary keys. You can take a look at our implementation, especially class *BaseModel* which is the base class for all our models, and class *TimeStampedModel *(most of our models inherit from *TimeStampedModel*): https://github.com/speedy-net/speedy-net/blob/master/speedy/core/base/models.py We also defined managers with querysets in which *bulk_create()* and *delete()* are disabled.

Primary Key AutoField -> UUID Field
Feature Request: I like to use the UUIDField as the primary key in my models, and I think it would be nice to have django expose a setting in the settings.py to override the default primary key on models. Currently, if I don’t specify a field as the primary key, Django automatically uses an AutoField (auto-incrementing integer). I’d like to be able to automatically use a UUID field, but then still be overridden in a specific model if I specify a different primary key.
