Worth mentioning: UUIDv7 implementation for PG18 was initiated at a Postgres.TV #HackingPostgres session online -- Kirk Wolak brought the idea and Andrey @x4mmmmmm Borodin drafted the first patch youtube.com/live/YPq_hiOE-N8…

🚨 New blog alert:
Postgres 18 beta 1 was released last week, and includes native support for UUIDv7.
Great opportunity to explain why UUIDv7 is a great fit for your database keys, and show you how to use them in PG18.

Just one of the highlights from our #HackingPostgres podcast episode with @ftisiot, Field CTO at Aiven: "When you can't control the input, the output can potentially be rubbish. A dedicated AI solution (for your performance tuning) augments in a way that's more reliable."

We love the #HackingPostgres episode with Bertrand, Senior Software Engineer at AWS, and pgSentinel maintainer. @BertrandDrouvot switched to Postgres 5 years ago because he wanted a project to contribute to (yes, also some Oracle-inspired functionality!) youtu.be/Jwu8iotiZiw
