- willis936 3y agoI didn't say that it wasn't. Hell even ms is too precise for many use cases (usually where date is used instead). What I said was that it's useful to be able to select timestamp precision independently of UUID implementation. One size that fits all fits none best.
- dtech 3y agoLucky for you, they also define UUIDv8 as a free-for-all where you can do whatever you want, and nanosecond precision is one of the examples given in the RFC.
