Hi,
I am having a table with a column type UUID and to insert this column value i am having value like "1344443456" in text datatype and i want to insert this value as UUID .
While trying to insert this value getting error for UUID ,
So is any way to convert my given value into customised UUID?
Let me know if any way to do so.

Regards 
Lekha

That does not look like a valid UUID at all.  I have no idea how that could be
converted to an UUID, same as I don't know how "hello" should be converted to
a timestamp.  Perhaps you have some more information?

You'd need to convert your string to a valid UUID first.

What do you mean by "customised UUID"? UUID format is standardized by definition.

But that looks like a X-Y problem. If you already have an ID, why generate a new one?
