[Ole Andersen]

Hi Sarah, maybe GUID is relevant for you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID - it's widely used in e.g. the software area.

Subject: Unique doc IDs

What is the best way to ensure that each document has a unique ID?  I'm
currently looking at introducing a scheme whereby all the documents
produced by the company (including those written by developers) have a
unique ID, but I'm having difficulty working out how to ensure
uniqueness.

 

Before I go reinventing the wheel (or a clumsy variant thereof with many
bumpy corners), what methods do other people use?
