sdavidow9 Is a RecordId unique across all orgs, or just it's org?
Hi, we are merging 2 SFDC orgs and we are trying to confirm if a Record Id is unique only within it's own org, or unique across the platform?
We will probably con-catinate a char to the id while loading to it to a "legacyId" field, but not sure this is necessary. I always thought these were GUIDs to the platform, but there is some question to the trueth of that on my team.
thanks.
Wait - I take that back. On another page - they say that Ids ARE unique across all TENANTS.

If I were you guys - I would plan for them to be non-unique just to cover your bases.

Ids are unique to your object / org - not platform-wide.
Taken from SF documentation:
"With rare exceptions, all objects in the API have a field of type ID that is named Id and contains a unique identifier for each record in the object."

Thanks, yeah...I think we are going the route of assuming them NOT platform wide unique, but the underlining "Yeah, they are..." approach :)
Thanks.
