[ Top ] [ UUIDs.V7 ] [ Subprograms ]

SOURCE

   function UUID7 return UUID;

OPTIONS

    The default source of randomness is a pseudorandom number generator.
    If all random data should be retrieved from system random, refer to

RETURN VALUE

    UUIDs.UUID - The UUIDv7 generated by the function.

EXAMPLE

   --    --  Generate a UUID based on the current time.
   --    My_UUID : UUID := V7.UUID7;

FUNCTION

    UUIDv7 features a time-ordered value field derived from the Unix Epoch
    timestamp in miliseconds to occupy the 48 most significant bits
    followed by the remainder of the field being filled with truely random
    or pseudorandom data.  Generally UUIDv7 has improved entropy over
    UUIDv1 or UUIDv6 as well as better database locality.
