UUID collision risk using different algorithms
- by Diego Jancic
Hi Guys,
I have a database where 2 (or maybe 3 or 4) different applications are inserting information. The new information has IDs of the type GUID/UUID, but each application is using a different algorithm to generate the IDs. For example, one is using the NHibernate's "guid.comb", other is using the SQLServer's NEWID(), other might want to use .NET's Guid.NewGuid() implementation.
Is there an above normal risk of ID collision or duplicates?
Thanks!
