Re: UUID v7 - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

A lot of people use https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/uuid-ossp.html.

And `uuid_generate_v7()` will be the continuation...

From my point of view, absorbing uuid_generate_v5 into mainline would be a great move too.

Changing the name uuidv7() to uuid_v7() is a bad idea because the RFC 9562 uses the term UUIDv7, and therefore code containing uuid_v7() will not be found by searching the web in most cases.

It makes much more sense to rename it to get_uuidv7(), so that a query for "uuidv7" does not return a bunch of other unnecessary functions related to UUIDv7.

Thank you for pointing it out. How about gen_uuidv7() and gen_uuidv4()
as we already have gen_random_uuid()?
