You have to generate the uuid yourself

Also should I use uuid or serial key that's also a question for me

i dont recomend using uuids they arent sortable in the same way that they were created cuid2 or ulid are two nice alternatives main difference that i can remember is: storage and limit storing string ids are more expensive in terms of storage, but they dont suffer from limitations of length a int id column tops are 4294967295 if you have the scale to worry about topping a column and not wanting to have to deal with changing the schema later, go with string ids if not, just use what you want

AnkanOP•17mo ago

Actually I was also thinking of going with string ids but was finding a way to auto implment string ids in drizzle I guess I need to do that manually

Neto•17mo ago

you can probably use a default of calling a mysql function

AnkanOP•17mo ago

is there one for mysql for cuid?

Neto•17mo ago

cuid probably not uuid probably there is one

AnkanOP•17mo ago

okk then it would be great using an uuid

Neto•17mo ago

check if the mysql server has a generate uuid function

then you would use this one https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/indexes-constraints#default

import { sql } from "drizzle-orm";
import { int, time, mysqlTable } from "drizzle-orm/mysql-core";
 
const table = mysqlTable("table", {
  int: int("int").default(42),
  time: time("time").default(sql`cast("14:06:10" AS TIME)`), // << sql`` calling the function
});

import { sql } from "drizzle-orm";
import { int, time, mysqlTable } from "drizzle-orm/mysql-core";
 
const table = mysqlTable("table", {
  int: int("int").default(42),
  time: time("time").default(sql`cast("14:06:10" AS TIME)`), // << sql`` calling the function
});

Actually I found PlanetScale to be a nice service but uses mysql behind the scenes. Also Neon has got its own limitations, can you recoomed some hosted service for postgresql? This one we can try out

JacobMGEvans•17mo ago

I came here to check to see if this question was moved into here and answered. Awesome to see both happened! Supabase is probably the best postgres hosted service with good DX

barry•17mo ago

I like neon too

Neto•17mo ago

if you want a compatible

barry•17mo ago

cba with anything mysql

Neto•17mo ago

cockroachdb as well

JacobMGEvans•17mo ago

Neon is good, there is a reason Vercel chose it lol

AnkanOP•17mo ago

I guess moving to Postgresql is kinda the right way. As I was unable to find any direct way in mysql. Thanks guys for the help. It really means a lot to me.

Neto•17mo ago

glad to help

AnkanOP•17mo ago

Btw one last thing what would you suggest to use Neon or Supabase?

barry•17mo ago

AnkanOP•17mo ago
