• pg_uuidv7

  4 290 6.8 C

  A tiny Postgres extension to create version 7 UUIDs

  https://github.com/fboulnois/pg_uuidv7

  It's slightly different from recommendations by draft RFC version (there's no counter), but fully within spec requirements. From practical point there's no difference at all.
