What about using something like a Record Locator (http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/Number-RecordLocator/ for some perl code, I have a python version somewhere...) to generate the _id?

Hello all,
In my app, i create documents which are orders for goods. My problem is to be able to to display a "nice" order number to the customer. What i mean by nice is basically not a UUID which is very long and not very easy to read. Would anyone have a trick to handle this ? For instance using part of the UUID could suffice ? I fear that all this comes down to the uniqueness issue
i have seen discussed in previous threads. ..

Thanks in advance

Seb
