Because of the [birthday problem][], the answer isn't feasible. While it's technically possible to assign a unique ID to every record, doing so randomly introduces a high probability of collisions. -- At around 30,000 generated IDs, there's already a 50% chance of a collision -- At around 42,000, the chance of at least one duplicate reaches 99.9% +- At around 35,000 generated IDs, there's already a 50% chance of a collision +- At around 90,000, the chance of at least one duplicate reaches 99% So even though the math is correct, the logic fails under the randomness constraint.
