Statistically impossible to inadvertently generate a collision using UUID keys. UUID is designed to be unique when generated across any computer system. Practically speaking if you have an exactly matching pair of UUIDs from disparate system you have found the exact record match. The name gives a hint "Universally unique identifier". -Not a cryptographer.

- ErroneousBosh 4mo agoIt definitely is possible, just very much a "woah, shit, guys come and look at this!" moment.
