Alation Analytics UUID

Note

This section is for Alation Analytics Version 1 (V1).

Each Alation object has a so-called UUID.

Because the UUID is a hex representation of the ID used internally, it is not unique on the global level.

It only becomes unique if used together with object_type_id.

That is why many joins join on UUID = UUID and object_type_id = object_type_id.
