Re: [mongodb-user] Same _id in different collections?

[Sam Millman]

You probably easily get away with it, there is nothing, upon insert that prevents you from doing this. Especially sice these documents are designed to have duplicate _ids I doubt you will run into any problems.

is possible to use the same _id for two documents in two different collections? could be problematic in some way?

Hi Alex,

Please have a look over the documentation. ObjectID's are unique per collection from the Mongo side of things there is no reason this should cause an issue. http://api.mongodb.org/wiki/current/Object%20IDs.html

Cheers,

David
