generateULID([x])
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Arguments**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `x` — [Expression](../../sql-reference/syntax.md#syntax-expressions) resulting in any of the [supported data types](../../sql-reference/data-types/index.md#data_types). The resulting value is discarded, but the expression itself if used for bypassing [common subexpression elimination](../../sql-reference/functions/index.md#common-subexpression-elimination) if the function is called multiple times in one query. Optional parameter.

|
||
|
|
