Oct 29, 2008 · The information above does not go into the details of the UUID/GUID values, or how you get/generate them. But there are two misconceptions about the values that should be cleared up. 1. Representation of UUID/GUIDs. Firstly, the same UUID/GUID is a 16 bytes (128 bits) value that can be represented in different ways.

Dec 16, 2008 · The term GUID is generally used by developers working with Microsoft technologies, while UUID is used everywhere else. How unique is a GUID? 128-bits is big enough and the generation algorithm is unique enough that if 1,0000,000,000 GUIDs per second were generated for 1 year the probability of a duplicate would be only 50%.

Jul 27, 2009 · Myths, GUID vs. Autoincrement (MySQL 5) This is realy what you want. UUID Pros. Unique across every table, every database, every server; Allows easy merging of records from different databases; Allows easy distribution of databases across multiple servers; You can generate IDs anywhere, instead of having to roundtrip to the database

Feb 17, 2010 · A GUID is Microsofts implementation of a unique identifier (UUID). A UUID is defined as "Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is an identifier standard used in software construction, standardized by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) as part of the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE)." From Wikipedia.

Jun 18, 2019 · Но не все GUID являются UUID варианта 1 (например, Microsoft COM имеет GUID, которые являются UUID варианта 2). Если отвечать на вопрос «есть ли разница между GUID и UUID варианта 1», то ответ был бы да — они могут ...

Aug 13, 2012 · Guid.NewGuid() initializes a new instance of the Guid structure. Example: Guid g = Guid.NewGuid(); Console.WriteLine(g); // This code example produces a result similar to the following: // 0f8fad5b-d9cb-469f-a165-70867728950e The method creates a Version 4 Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) as described in RFC 4122, Sec. 4.4

Aug 6, 2022 · The uuid module provides immutable UUID objects (the UUID class) and the functions uuid1(), uuid3(), uuid4(), uuid5() for generating version 1, 3, 4, and 5 UUIDs as specified in RFC 4122.

Nov 21, 2024 · Re: "two machines in the world eventually creating the same 'UUID'v4", well, sure, but this isn't a problem because most machines in the world that use UUID's use them in different contexts. I mean, if I generate the same UUID for my own internal app as you do for your internal app, then it doesn't matter.

May 12, 2024 · 2. UUID: UUID is 128-bit, more than Long (64-bit). Like Long, UUID always generate unique ID (like 558012d6-7db5-4053-b838-6a1ef4ad019b), but it's random, a bit slower and much harder to predict. This means it's more secure than Long. In summary, both are good to use as the primary key in database.

A UUID is interchangeable in some circles with GUID, but typically a UUID has a base seed. SHA-1 generates a very long ID similar to MD5, but since it doesn't predetermine the length of the output it truncates it. Kinda like pi, but only to the tenth place.
