Is it possible in wordpress to set id of pages, posts with letters and symbols?

Question

WordPress

Is it possible to set id pages, posts in wordpress with letters and symbols and not just numbers?

I'm interested for one purpose, you need to export goods from iiko, and there the goods have an id of symbols and numbers. I'm wondering if it's possible to set symbols in wordpress id.

Answer 1

just store iiko id in a separate meta field Like
this

Answer 2

id - no, there it is taken from the database, autoincrement. Pages, posts, etc. have a label, or slug, you can think of something with it. This slug is used in CNC.

Answer 3

for goods id from symbols and numbers

this is the so-called UUID (Unique Identifier). It guarantees the uniqueness of the generated string.
For example, in java language there is such an object as UUID. And when developing in java, it is a fairly common practice to use UUID as an id
. In PHP, there is such a thing - https://www.php.net/manual/ru/function.uniqid.php.
I agree that you need to store this id in a separate meta field. This will make it possible to update the product in the future by finding it in the database by UUID
