[ovirt-devel] [rhev-devel] [IMPORTANT] getting rid of our implementation of UUID generation in 4.2.1

[Greg Sheremeta]

"2) run the following command from psql prompt while logging in with a DB
admin (postgres) user "

Note on step 2: make sure you run
$ psql engine
and not just
$ psql

where engine = your engine db name, so that you connect to your engine db
and not the server. The commands will run and look like they worked if you
don't specify the database :)
