# Functions for Working with UUIDs
2022-06-02 10:55:18 +00:00
## generateUUIDv4
2021-08-10 11:11:41 +00:00
Generates the [UUID](../data-types/uuid.md) of [version 4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122#section-4.4).
2022-05-22 23:17:45 +00:00
**Syntax**
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` sql
2022-05-22 23:17:45 +00:00
generateUUIDv4([x])
```
2022-05-22 23:17:45 +00:00
**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.
2022-05-22 23:17:45 +00:00
**Returned value**
The UUID type value.
**Usage example**
This example demonstrates creating a table with the UUID type column and inserting a value into the table.

## empty
2021-08-10 10:53:35 +00:00
Checks whether the input UUID is empty.
**Syntax**
```sql
empty(UUID)

**Example**
2021-08-10 11:06:37 +00:00
To generate the UUID value, ClickHouse provides the [generateUUIDv4](#uuid-function-generate) function.

## toUUIDOrDefault (x,y)
**Arguments**
- `string` — String of 36 characters or FixedString(36). [String](../../sql-reference/syntax.md#string).
- `default` — UUID to be used as the default if the first argument cannot be converted to a UUID type. [UUID](/docs/en/sql-reference/data-types/uuid.md).
2023-01-04 14:46:36 +00:00
**Returned value**
UUID
``` sql
toUUIDOrDefault(String, UUID)
```
**Returned value**
The UUID type value.
**Usage examples**
This first example returns the first argument converted to a UUID type as it can be converted:
``` sql
SELECT toUUIDOrDefault('61f0c404-5cb3-11e7-907b-a6006ad3dba0', cast('59f0c404-5cb3-11e7-907b-a6006ad3dba0' as UUID));

## UUIDStringToNum
Accepts `string` containing 36 characters in the format `xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx`, and returns a [FixedString(16)](../../sql-reference/data-types/fixedstring.md) as its binary representation, with its format optionally specified by `variant` (`Big-endian` by default).

``` sql
UUIDStringToNum(string[, variant = 1])
```
**Arguments**
- `string` — String of 36 characters or FixedString(36). [String](../../sql-reference/syntax.md#syntax-string-literal).
- `variant` — Integer, representing a variant as specified by [RFC4122](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4122#section-4.1.1). 1 = `Big-endian` (default), 2 = `Microsoft`.

## UUIDNumToString
Accepts `binary` containing a binary representation of a UUID, with its format optionally specified by `variant` (`Big-endian` by default), and returns a string containing 36 characters in text format.
**Syntax**
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` sql
UUIDNumToString(binary[, variant = 1])
```
**Arguments**
- `binary` — [FixedString(16)](../../sql-reference/data-types/fixedstring.md) as a binary representation of a UUID.
- `variant` — Integer, representing a variant as specified by [RFC4122](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4122#section-4.1.1). 1 = `Big-endian` (default), 2 = `Microsoft`.
**Returned value**
String.
**Usage example**

``` sql
SELECT
'a/<@];!~p{jTj={)' AS bytes,
UUIDNumToString(toFixedString(bytes, 16)) AS uuid
