Can you please explain the 15 digit Id and 18 digit Id scenario in Salesforce?
15 digit and 18 digit Ids with different cases (case Sensitivity)
Can I have the scenario where I can have two records with the same Salesforce Ids with different cases.
e.g.
a124T000000kDCa -- Ajay
a124t000000KDca -- HariThe above is an example of 15 digit Id. Is this scenario possible ?
Is the same scenario possible with 18 digit Ids as well? -

Hello,
The API can return either a case-sensitive or a case-insensitive ID field value.
The case-insensitive ID is identical to the 15-character case-sensitive ID, but with 3 extra characters appended to indicate the casing of each of the original 15 characters.
When inserting or updating records, the API accepts either the 15-character case-sensitive ID or the 18-character case-insensitive ID.
When querying or searching records using the API, you must specify a value of "1" for the "useCaseSafeIDs" parameter to indicate that you want the API to return case-insensitive IDs. If you don't specify the "useCaseSafeIDs" parameter, you automatically receive case-sensitive IDs.
