Hi,

 

I wish to use PostgreSQL as the integrated database in a windows application. When looking though the documentation it appears that there is no equivalent of the Uniqueidentifier type. This type is used in other databases to store UUIDs. On a windows platform this is a fairly common data type. IMHO this type must be included in PostgreSQL to make this a viable database system on the windows platform. Without it, conversion from SQL Server is difficult.

 

Are there plans to include this in the PostgreSQL native windows port?

 

Regards,

Colin Blair.
