Re: Update docs for UUID data type

Please find the attached patch files that supersede the previous email.

Patch 0001 contains some modest modifications to the UUID data type docs
(Section 8.12. UUID Type). The main goal is to inform the reader that there
are multiple versions of UUID generation algorithms (presently 8); however,
once generated, PostgreSQL treats all UUIDs uniformly.

Patch 0002 contains modifications to the UUID functions docs (Section 9.14.
UUID Functions). The main goal is to format the UUID functions in table
form, similar to other function docs, such as Section 9.4. String Functions
and Operators. This provides the user a more consistent format, in line
with more established sections of the PostgreSQL documentation.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Regards,
Andy Alsup
