Hello list,

the UUID datatype in the recent version is a feature we intend to use in the near future. To generate a UUID in the database, the Linux release includes contrib modules which can be used for that (together with the uuid lib).

Now, what do I have to do in order to generate a valid UUID (or the 5 different versions as implemented by the RFC) under Windows?
