I need a 6 letter alphanumeric ID to be used in my Rail app, which will be presented to system users and In my system unique to all object instances, I do not expect more than a few thousand object instances, so 6 characters are really too big for me.
At this time I am using the UIIdTools gem to generate UUID in my Rail app. Which of the methods of UUIDTools generation should I use, and as a result, the end of the UUID should take 6 letters to guarantee specificity?
For example, if I generate .. As a side note / question: am I going to go about this wrong thing? Is there a better way? No way UUID is considered unique because it is too long and practical to generate the same UUID The form is impossible. If you trim it in 6 letters, then you increase the fragility of the duplicate. You must either use a mounting ID or full UUID. Only deterministic generation ( There is another option, to create an ID generation service, it will have single method ef1cf087-95c9-4868 -bd95-cea950a52b58 , should I follow it from
ef1cf0 , or behind Would you like to use
a52b58 from the corner?
id (x + 1) = id (x) + 1 ) can guarantee exclusivity. UUID does not guarantee and less than 6 characters guarantee less.
getNewId and will keep knowledge which will be prepared to provide unique IDs. (Simple Case - Counter)
