tan Account ID and Primary Key
Hi all,
I was working with some data import and migration and I am a bit confused by the Account ID value. What are the characteristics of the field? It seems to be a 15 character field but some of my queries return the same results for an 18 character field length matching a 15 character search string. It seems to add 3 characters to the end of the field.
The application front end seems to accept either the 15 or the 18 character account id field in the url to find the same data record.
Any insight?
Thanks

It has quite a lot of information. Bottom line, the 15 character ids are case sensitive, the 18 character ids are not. The addition of the trailing three characters makes them so. The API and the UI accept either. The 15 character was the original version. It appears that sf.com is gradually migrating various outputs to the 18 character version.
