curly brackets in GUID

Question

Hi,

When importing data from a PostgreSQL database into ArcGIS Pro, the UUID from PostgreSQL are transformed into GUIDs, and for some reason the GUID contains curly brackets in the begnning and end, as showend below:

Do you guys know how to avoid that? Or, how to remove the curly brackets?

perhaps the opening paragraphs here might explain why the field appears to change

ArcGIS field data types—Geodatabases | Documentation

and the section on Global Identifier section.

Hi, I add data as a query layer and export features into a geodatabase, and yes, the field type in Pro are showing GUID. Maybe this field type, will always include curly brackets?

The most important statement you made is, "when importing..."  I am guessing your field type in Pro will show as GUID.  If so, you can't just remove the curly brackets.  How are you importing the data?
