Hi,

I wish to use PostgreSQL as the integrated database in a windows
application. When looking though the documentation it appears that there
is no equivalent of the Uniqueidentifier type. This type is used in
other databases to store UUIDs. On a windows platform this is a fairly
common data type. IMHO this type must be included in PostgreSQL to make
this a viable database system on the windows platform. Without it,
conversion from SQL Server is difficult.

Are there plans to include this in the PostgreSQL native windows port?

Regards,
Colin Blair.
