# Functions for Working with UUIDs
|
|
|
|
## generateUUIDv4
|
|
|
|
Generates a [version 4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122#section-4.4) [UUID](../data-types/uuid.md).
|
|
|
|
**Syntax**
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
generateUUIDv4([expr])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Arguments**
|
|
|
|
- `expr` — An arbitrary [expression](../../sql-reference/syntax.md#syntax-expressions) used to bypass [common subexpression elimination](../../sql-reference/functions/index.md#common-subexpression-elimination) if the function is called multiple times in a query. The value of the expression has no effect on the returned UUID. Optional.
|
|
|
|
**Returned value**
|
|
|
|
A value of type UUIDv4.
|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
First, create a table with a column of type UUID, then insert a generated UUIDv4 into the table.
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
CREATE TABLE tab (uuid UUID) ENGINE = Memory;
|
|
|
|
INSERT INTO tab SELECT generateUUIDv4();
|
|
|
|
SELECT * FROM tab;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Result:
|
|
|
|
```response
|
|
┌─────────────────────────────────uuid─┐
|
|
│ f4bf890f-f9dc-4332-ad5c-0c18e73f28e9 │
|
|
└──────────────────────────────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Example with multiple UUIDs generated per row**
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT generateUUIDv4(1), generateUUIDv4(2);
|
|
|
|
┌─generateUUIDv4(1)────────────────────┬─generateUUIDv4(2)────────────────────┐

## generateUUIDv7 {#generateUUIDv7}
|
|
|
|
Generates a [version 7](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format-04) [UUID](../data-types/uuid.md).
|
|
|
|
The generated UUID contains the current Unix timestamp in milliseconds (48 bits), followed by version "7" (4 bits), a counter (42 bit) to distinguish UUIDs within a millisecond (including a variant field "2", 2 bit), and a random field (32 bits).
|
|
For any given timestamp (unix_ts_ms), the counter starts at a random value and is incremented by 1 for each new UUID until the timestamp changes.
|
|
In case the counter overflows, the timestamp field is incremented by 1 and the counter is reset to a random new start value.
|
|
|
|
Function `generateUUIDv7` guarantees that the counter field within a timestamp increments monotonically across all function invocations in concurrently running threads and queries.

## generateUUIDv7ThreadMonotonic
|
|
|
|
Generates a [UUID](../data-types/uuid.md) of [version 7](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format-04).
|
|
|
|
The generated UUID contains the current Unix timestamp in milliseconds (48 bits), followed by version "7" (4 bits), a counter (42 bit) to distinguish UUIDs within a millisecond (including a variant field "2", 2 bit), and a random field (32 bits).
|
|
For any given timestamp (unix_ts_ms), the counter starts at a random value and is incremented by 1 for each new UUID until the timestamp changes.
|
|
In case the counter overflows, the timestamp field is incremented by 1 and the counter is reset to a random new start value.
|
|
|
|
This function behaves like [generateUUIDv7](#generateUUIDv7) but gives no guarantee on counter monotony across different simultaneous requests.
|
|
Monotonicity within one timestamp is guaranteed only within the same thread calling this function to generate UUIDs.

## generateUUIDv7NonMonotonic
|
|
|
|
Generates a [UUID](../data-types/uuid.md) of [version 7](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format-04).
|
|
|
|
The generated UUID contains the current Unix timestamp in milliseconds (48 bits), followed by version "7" (4 bits) and a random field (76 bits, including a 2-bit variant field "2").
|
|
|
|
This function is the fastest `generateUUIDv7*` function but it gives no monotonicity guarantees within a timestamp.

|
|
|
**Syntax**
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
empty(UUID)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The UUID is considered empty if it contains all zeros (zero UUID).
|
|
|
|
The function also works for [Arrays](array-functions.md#function-empty) and [Strings](string-functions.md#empty).
|
|
|
|
**Arguments**
|
|
|
|
- `x` — A UUID. [UUID](../data-types/uuid.md).
|
|
|
|
**Returned value**
|
|
|
|
- Returns `1` for an empty UUID or `0` for a non-empty UUID.
|
|
|
|
Type: [UInt8](../data-types/int-uint.md).
|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
To generate the UUID value, ClickHouse provides the [generateUUIDv4](#uuid-function-generate) function.
|
|
|
|
Query:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT empty(generateUUIDv4());
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Result:
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## notEmpty
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
**Syntax**
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
notEmpty(UUID)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The UUID is considered empty if it contains all zeros (zero UUID).
|
|
|
|
The function also works for [Arrays](array-functions.md#function-notempty) or [Strings](string-functions.md#notempty).
|
|
|
|
**Arguments**
|
|
|
|
- `x` — A UUID. [UUID](../data-types/uuid.md).
|
|
|
|
**Returned value**
|
|
|
|
- Returns `1` for a non-empty UUID or `0` for an empty UUID.
|
|
|
|
Type: [UInt8](../data-types/int-uint.md).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
```sql
|
|
SELECT notEmpty(generateUUIDv4());
|
|
```
|

|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT toUUIDOrDefault('-----61f0c404-5cb3-11e7-907b-a6006ad3dba0', cast('59f0c404-5cb3-11e7-907b-a6006ad3dba0' as UUID));

|
|
```response

|
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## toUUIDOrNull
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
toUUIDOrNull(string)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Returned value**
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
**Usage example**

|
|
|
|
The UUID type value.

## UUIDNumToString
|
|

|
|
|

## UUIDToNum
|
|
|
|
Accepts a [UUID](../../sql-reference/data-types/uuid.md) and returns its binary representation as a [FixedString(16)](../../sql-reference/data-types/fixedstring.md), with its format optionally specified by `variant` (`Big-endian` by default). This function replaces calls to two separate functions `UUIDStringToNum(toString(uuid))` so no intermediate conversion from UUID to string is required to extract bytes from a UUID.
|
|
|
|
**Syntax**
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
UUIDToNum(uuid[, variant = 1])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Arguments**
|
|
|
|
- `uuid` — [UUID](../data-types/uuid.md).
|
|
- `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**
|
|
|
|
The binary representation of the UUID.
|
|
|
|
**Usage examples**
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
SELECT
|
|
toUUID('612f3c40-5d3b-217e-707b-6a546a3d7b29') AS uuid,
