Re: UUID datatype

Thanks Kris,

I'm appreciative of you having acted on this. I'm currently mapping it
to the sql OTHER datatype, overriding the JDBC driver and doing some
hocus-pocus magic with Hibernate for it to work in an ORM. I have no
immediate need of this update at present, having the workaround.
However, when the next release is published, I will play around with it
and see how JPA takes to it.

Cheers,

Andy
