Postgresql: UUID的使用

默认安装的 Postgresql 是不带 UUID 函数的，为了生成一个 UUID，我们不得不在客户端生成。其实在 Postgresql 的安装目录下已经存在这样的函数定义，我们只需将其 import 进来即可。

在安装目录的 share/contrib 下面，可以找到 uuid-ossp.sql，使用以下命令：

psql -d pisces -U postgres -f D:\Service\PostgreSQL\9.0\share\contrib\uuid-ossp.sql

参数说明：

-d: 数据库名

-U: 用户名

-f: 要import的文件

以下截屏说明导入正确：

然后我们可以尝试用导入的函数生成一个UUID：

select uuid_generate_v4();

更多uuid函数，请在postgresql文档中搜索：

uuid-ossp

在C#中使用uuid类型的例子：

上述例子用到的表结构如下：

CREATE TABLE demotable ( id uuid NOT NULL, "name" character varying(25), CONSTRAINT pk_demotable PRIMARY KEY (id) ) WITH ( OIDS=FALSE ); ALTER TABLE demotable OWNER TO agentusr;
