CREATE EXTENSION sequential_uuids;Usage
sequential_uuids: sequential UUID generators for better index locality
Generates UUIDs with sequential patterns to reduce random I/O in indexes while maintaining sufficient randomness to avoid collisions.
CREATE EXTENSION sequential_uuids;Functions
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
uuid_sequence_nextval(sequence regclass, block_size int DEFAULT 65536, block_count int DEFAULT 65536) | Generate a sequential UUID based on a sequence |
uuid_time_nextval(interval_length int DEFAULT 60, interval_count int DEFAULT 65536) | Generate a sequential UUID based on current timestamp |
Examples
CREATE SEQUENCE my_seq;
-- Sequence-based UUID generation
SELECT uuid_sequence_nextval('my_seq'::regclass);
-- Time-based UUID generation (wraps around every ~45 days with defaults)
SELECT uuid_time_nextval();
-- Use as default for a column
CREATE TABLE orders (
id uuid DEFAULT uuid_time_nextval() PRIMARY KEY,
data text
);
-- Custom block size and count
SELECT uuid_sequence_nextval('my_seq', 256, 65536);
SELECT uuid_time_nextval(120, 32768);Last updated on
