The results are generated according to the 'DCE 1.1:Remote Procedure Call' (Appendix A) CAE (Common Applications Environment) Specifications published by The Open Group in October 1997 ( Document Number C706). 3 - set the version of mariadb client to use in. We can type these literals as strings or as hexadecimal numbers.

To create a UUID column, use the following command: CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE uuidtest ( uuid UUID NOT NULL ) We can insert UUID values as literals. Let’s see how to work with the UUID type. Statements using the UUID() function are not safe for replication. 1 - connect to each of the DBs and run the following queries: create table testUUID (ID int, newID varchar (100), newID2 varchar (100), newID3 BINARY (16)) insert into testUUID (id) values (1), (2), (3) 2 - replace the connection info masked for security reasons and run it on each of the DBs. How to write and read UUIDs in MariaDB SQL. On other operating systems, MariaDB uses a randomly generated 48-bit number. Nevertheless, a collision should have very low probability.Ĭurrently, the MAC address of an interface is taken into account only on FreeBSD and Linux. In this case, spatial uniqueness cannot be guaranteed. I wouldn't recommend it, though: data and indexes for the field will be bigger, unique checks more expensive, depending on your database size. If you are dead set on using a string, then don't declare the type'uuid', but type'text', length36. A random number is substituted if the latter is not available (for example, because the host computer has no Ethernet card, or we do not know how to find the hardware address of an interface on your operating system). As I said, for compatibility, uuid on MySQL/MariaDB is mapped as a BINARY(16), and always has been. The fifth number is an IEEE 802 node number that provides spatial uniqueness.The fourth number preserves temporal uniqueness in case the timestamp value loses monotonicity (for example, due to daylight saving time).The first three numbers are generated from a timestamp.UUID() results are intended to be unique, but cannot always be relied upon to unpredictable and unguessable, so should not be relied upon for these purposes.Ī UUID is a 128-bit number represented by a utf8 string of five hexadecimal numbers in aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee format:
