uuid-ossp

The uuid-ossp module provides functions to generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) using one of several standard algorithms. The module also includes functions to produce certain special UUID constants.

The WarehousePG uuid-ossp module is equivalent to the PostgreSQL uuid-ossp module. There are no WarehousePG or MPP-specific considerations for the module.

Installing and Registering the Module

The uuid-ossp module is installed when you install WarehousePG. Before you can use any of the functions defined in the module, you must register the uuid-ossp extension in each database in which you want to use the functions:

CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp";

Refer to Installing Extensions for more information.
