Would it be welcomed in this community if a patch for built-in UUID
generation functions are provided? (I'm not saying I can provide them
soon.) According to the following page, Linux has libuuid.so. Microsoft
provides UuidCreate() as a Win32 API. I don't know about other UNIXes.
MySQL, Oracle (and perhaps other DBMSs) offer UUID generation functions. I
feel it convenient if I can use that function as the default value for a
column.
