I am new to the mailing list, but not new to postgres.  I did search through
the mail-list archives, and didn't find an answer to this question.  Oracle
has a concept of a "globally unique ID" which can be gotten from their
function call SYS_GUID().  Is there any plan to implement this (or something
analogous) in a future version of Postgres?
