The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/functions-uuid.html Description:
Regarding the documentation on this page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/functions-uuid.html It think the documentation should state clearly, that postgres natively does not have any UUID generation functions. You can use the `pgcrypto` or `uuid-ossp` extensions though: CREATE EXTENSION "pgcrypto"; /* enable pgcrypto extension */ SELECT public.gen_random_uuid(); /* -> uuid */ See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgcrypto.html#id-1.11.7.37.11 CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp"; /* enable uuid-ossp extension */ SELECT public.uuid_generate_v4(); /* -> uuid */ See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/uuid-ossp.html
