Usage

omni_id: Identity types

The omni_id extension introduces custom identity types that prevent comparison errors between different ID types, catching bugs at query time.

Create an Identity Type

CREATE EXTENSION omni_id;
SELECT identity_type('user_id');

This creates a user_id type backed by bigint (default) with an auto-created sequence and constructor function.

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
`type`	`bigint`	Base type (`int`, `smallint`, `uuid`)
`sequence`	`<type>_seq`	Sequence identifier
`create_sequence`	`true`	Auto-create sequence
`increment`	`1`	Sequence step value
`cache`	–	Pre-allocate sequence numbers
`cycle`	–	Enable wraparound at limits
`constructor`	–	Constructor function name
`operator_schema`	`public`	Schema for operators

Auto-Generated Functions

user_id(1) – Constructor
user_id_nextval() – Get next value
user_id_currval() – Get current value
user_id_setval(user_id, bool) – Set value
