   Postgres extension for generating UUIDs

6. pg_uuidv7

   5 4 378 6.9 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.
