std::string strUUID(uuid, 16) will do the right thing for you. -----Original Message----- From: Olivier Rosello [mailto:orose...@corp.free.fr] Sent: Friday, April 23, 2010 9:59 AM To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: Re: How to insert a row with a TimeUUIDType column in C++

That's not the problem for me. The problem is that new_col.column type is string. uint8_t uuid[17]; uuid_generate_time(uuid); // returns a 16 bytes uuid v1 uuid[16] = 0; ColumnPath new_col; new_col.__isset.column = true; /* this is required! */ new_col.column_family.assign("Incoming"); new_col.column.assign((char *)uuid); client.insert("MyKeyspace", "somekey", new_col, "Random Value", time(NULL), ONE); This works, except that sometimes, there are \0 bytes in uuid, so to column.assign get a string shorter than 16 bytes... My question is : how could I attribute the 16 bytes of uuid to column without using a string ? :) Cheers, Olivier -- Olivier Rosello -+- Free Mobile -+- orose...@corp.free.fr -+- 1231, avenue du mondial 98 - 34000 Montpellier Tel : +33 4 34 67 89 08 -+-
