Here is your random fact of the day:
- Salesforce Ids are 15-digit, case sensitive, base62 (0-9,a-z,A-Z)
- Leftmost 3 digits are the object type identifier: That’s 238,328 different object types
- Next 2 digits identify the pod the record was created on: That’s 3,844 pods
- Next 1 digit is “reserved for future use”
- Next 9 digits are the record’s Id: That supports 13,537,086,546,263,551 records (this many commas is “quintillion”)
- As we approach BigObjects and IoT, 13.5 Quintillion records doesn’t actually seem that big. However, repurposing the 2 digits from pod and 1 “reserved for future use” will increase the number to 3.2 septillion!
Now thems some biggin numbers.
