A UUIDv7 measures time in the Unix Epoch with an accuracy between 1ms and 245ns, depending on how many bits are spent for the timestamp (48-60 bits). The rest of the UUID (62-74 bits) is filled with random data. The timestamp is at the front of the UUID, therefore the UUIDs are monotonically increasing, which is good for using them in database indexes. Since this UUID version does not contain a MAC address, it is also recommended due to the improved privacy.

Like UUIDv1, this kind of UUID is made of the MAC address of the generating computer, the time, and a clock sequence. However, the components in UUIDv6 are reordered (time is at the beginning), so that UUIDs are monotonically increasing, which is good for using them in database indexes.

The sorting of UUIDs in SQL Server is rather confusing and incompatible with UUIDv6 and UUIDv7.
Therefore this method developed by HickelSOFT
generates UUIDs which are sortable by SQL Server.
They have a time resolution of 1 milliseconds combined with 16 bits of random data.

The following types of UUIDs are less common and/or require special knowledge. Please only use the following generators if you know what you are doing.
The NCS UUIDs are a legacy format
initially designed by Apollo Computer that cannot be generated anymore, because the
amount of available timestamp bits was exhausted on 5 September 2015.
As an example, here is the last possible NCS UUID (all bits of the timestamp are set to 1) for IP address 127.0.0.1:
ffffffff-ffff-0000-027f-000001000000.
An UUIDv2 contains information about the creator (person, group, or organization), the generating system (MAC address), and time. The creator information replaced parts of the time bits, therefore the time resolution is very low.
An UUIDv3 is made out of a MD5 hash and an UUIDv5 is made out of a SHA1 hash. RFC 9562 also contains an example for a custom UUIDv8 implementation that uses modern hash algorithms.
UUIDv8 is made of 122 bits application-specific / custom data. The other 6 bits are used to specify the variant and version of the UUID, to make it RFC-compatible.
You can enter a UUID in the following notations:

Please enter a UUID or UUID OID:
You can enter a UUID in the following notations:

Please enter a MAC (EUI, ELI, SAI, AAI), or IPv6-Link-Local address:
An Administratively Assigned Identifier (AAI) is a MAC address which can be locally defined by applications or an administrator. Unlike the EUI, an AAI is NOT worldwide unique.
The following options are rather unusual, but are implemented for the sake of completeness:
