UUID Key (UuidPkGenerator)

The UUID Key generator generates UUID values. It can be used on primary key columns.

Link object structure

The UUID Key generator does not support linking. It can be self-consistent, but not consistent with another column. You cannot configure differential privacy.

The metadata object is populated from the BaseMetadata object.

There is no generator-specific configuration.

{
  "schema": "string",
  "table": "string",
  "column": "string",
  "path": "string",  //JSON fields only
  "dataType": "string",  //MongoDB, Amazon DynamoDB, and JSON fields only
  "metadata": {
    "presetId": "string",
    "generatorId": "UuidPkGenerator",
    "isConsistent": boolean,
    "preserveVersionAndVariant": boolean,
    "encryptionProcessor": "x-on", //To use configured Structural data encryption
    "customValueProcessor": "string"  //If custom value processor applied
  }
}

Example replacement

In the following example replacement for the UUID Key generator, the version and variant are not preserved, and consistency is disabled.

{
  "name": "guid",
  "schema": "public",
  "table": "test",
  "links": [
    {
      "schema": "public",
      "table": "test",
      "column": "guid",
      "metadata": {
        "presetId": "UuidPkGenerator",
        "generatorId": "UuidPkGenerator",
        "preserveVersionAndVariant": false,
        "isConsistent": false
      }
    }
  ]
}
