+=head1 NAME
+
+DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::UniqueIdentifier - Storage component for RDBMSes
+supporting GUID types
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This is a storage component for databases that support GUID types such as
+C<uniqueidentifier>, C<uniqueidentifierstr> or C<guid>.
+
+GUIDs are generated automatically for PK columns with a supported
+L<data_type|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/data_type>, as well as non-PK with
+L<auto_nextval|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/auto_nextval> set.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=head2 new_guid
+
+The composing class must set C<new_guid> to the method used to generate a new
+GUID. It can also set it to C<undef>, in which case the user is required to set
+it, or a runtime error will be thrown. It can be:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item string
+
+In which case it is used as the name of database function to create a new GUID,
+
+=item coderef
+
+In which case the coderef should return a string GUID, using L<Data::GUID>, or
+whatever GUID generation method you prefer. It is passed the C<$self>
+L<DBIx::Class::Storage> reference as a parameter.

+For example:
