Hi Massimo,

Simply creating a uuid field unfortunately does not prevent collisions
on primary key fields when merging the data from various databases
(with the same data structure).  Re-creating the primary key on merge
is also not really an option as links to other tables are then upset.

Would it be a very big deal to make uuid's available as an alternate
to the (default) integer id's?

I have been discussing this type of merge scenario with a number
people of late and it actually seems to be a more common requirement
than I previously thought.
