Standards and compatibility for UNIQUEIDENTIFIER

These standards and compatibilities apply to UNIQUEIDENTIFIER values.

  • SQL—Vendor extension to ISO/ANSI SQL grammar.

  • Sybase—Supported by SQL Anywhere. Not supported by Adaptive Server Enterprise.

  • Backwards compatibility—In databases created before Sybase IQ version 12.7, the STRTOUUID, UUIDTOSTR, and NEWID functions were supported through CIS functional compensation. In versions 15.3 and later, the STRTOUUID, UUIDTOSTR, and NEWID functions are native Sybase IQ functions.
