is there are changes to get dublicated viD while creating new api? for example if 100500 ppl start to create new api can we get one vID and several vCodes?

why am i saking? just thinking about is stable system of storage of api keys in DB, if there are such changes then we had to use one field as auto increment =\

I dont think any of us known for sure the best people to speak with are the devs and to get that info off them petition the api system and ask them there is prob the best way.
Auto increment is also good idea in the database anyways for the API keys :)

Let's see if I got you correctly.
IIRC from a dev post (I think it was CCP Stillman who wrote it, not sure though, I can't find the post atm) the IDs are unique. With CCP using 64bit IDs it will take a while till all numbers get exhausted and they are forced to recycle the deleted ones.

If you live in constant fear, that you could get duplicates of assumed unique IDs, than you should ALWAYS use your own means to ensure uniqueness within your system.

Otherwise that what Desmont said.

I think CCP has enough good DBAs to ensure concurrent creation of new entries in their database and thus those 100500 people will get each a unique ID (if not the web-server would/could/should fail).
