Is Session ID is unique?

[Nelson Smith]

It appears that the session Id is not unique when the application is
updated.



Here is how I encounter that.

User logged in around 7 AM. Application recorded that Session Id as s1.

I updated the web application around 7.30 AM.

User logs in around 10 am. Application recorded that Session Id as s1.



For argument sake I have selected s1.



Is it session Id is unique?

I am using ASP.Net application with .Net FrameWork 1.1.

Please advice.

Nelson:

The SessionID is not unique over space and time. It is not the kind of
ID you would use as a primary key in a database, for instance.

Session ID's are recycled by the runtime, they are unique in that only 1
session will ever have that session ID at any given time.
