CUID (collision-resistant unique identifier)
ID cuid
DatatypeNot PIIidentifierDraft
This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
Identifier of the cuid library, written as the letter c followed by 24 lowercase base36 characters that encode a timestamp, a counter, a host fingerprint and random data. Prisma generates it with @default(cuid()). Its authors deprecated it for security reasons, since parts of it can be guessed, and recommend Cuid2 (cuid2) instead. The 25-character length holds while the base36 timestamp has 8 digits, which lasts until 2059.
