Ruby on Rails
Uses Guid Plugin

This plugin for ActiveRecord makes the “ID” field into a 22 character URL-safe GUID.

It is a mashup by Andy Singleton that includes

• the UUID class from Bob Aman’s UUIDtools
• the recommended ActiveRecord plugin skeleton
• the 22 character URL-safe format from Andy Singleton. If you don’t care about size you can edit it to return standard 36 char UUID formats instead

TO USE

• Install as a plugin in the rails directory vendor/plugin/guid
• define field ID as char(22)
• call “usesguid” in ActiveRecord class declaration, like:

svn [which doesn’t work because authorization is required]:
http://tools.assembla.com/svn/breakout/breakout/vendor/plugins/guid
