     this is now live! we are all for industry standards... to not be confusing - we removed our previous GUID support which was a custom implementation and now have the UUID version... this can be found in the Security function stack group or you can use it as a filter with the name uuid.

    This is using the version 4 specification of UUID, which appears to be the most popular. If anyone has any objections to that or needs other variations, please let us know!

    How does a noob use this?  I want to use integer IDs internally, but I would like a field on some tables that are public keys (UUID or GUID),  I tried using a text field but I can't find a filter to create_uuid or anything like that.

     - when you add a function, look under Security and then select UUID. This will generate a UUID that you can persist into a table of your choice. I would not be be too worried about returning the existing primary ID's to an external user.
