Can you give a link to the PostgreSQL binding? I haven't been able to
find it there. All I see is C, Perl and PHP bindings for the generation
of UUIDs, and nothing about storage.
(For my application, as it happens, I don't need to generate UUIDs in
the database, but I recognize that would be use

Thanks, I've gotten this working nicely now (after some offline
exchanges with Harald).
In JDBC, inet values can be read a couple of ways -- the easiest is to
call ResultSet.getString(). And to write them, the easiest is to use
prepared statements of the form
INSERT INTO xxx VALUES (?::inet, .
Vance,nice that it was of help.(When going from Java to the database, for example, it's
easiest to compose the value directly into the SQL query rather thanusing a parameter.) This seems quite viable.Please allow me to recommend to you to NOT go this seemingly easy way. I went there myself (but di
Thanks for the good suggestion. I spent some time last night verifying
that it works, and that I can get the values in and out correctly
through JDBC. (When going from Java to the database, for example, it's
easiest to compose the value directly into the SQL query rather than
using a parameter.)
I'm considering using a UUID as a primary / foreign key for my schema,
to help ensure portability of data in a multi-master context. Does
anyone have experience with this?
There's a project on Gborg (pguuid) to create a "native" UUID type, but
it looks stagnant (and I'd prefer to use PostgreSQL
