in reply to Question: Generate unique/random 12-digit keys for 25,000K records, howto??

I need to generate an 12-digit unique/random hex-decimal ID

It's somewhat obvious, but if you could raise the base of your 12-digit number from 16 to 36 or 62 or 64 or 256 (the higher the better) then the chance of duplication is greatly diminished.

Cheers,
Rob
