# Feature Request: Post ID

 * I would very much like to see a unique form (post) id with every submission of
   a contact form to the DB, where the form id is appended to every record of that
   form to identify that form post. Now I use the submit_time but I don’t think 
   that is very reliable as more people can submit a form at the same time.

 * It is reliable. There is code to ensure that there are no duplicates.

 * Thank you for your reply. That is good to know, however it would make further
   processing of the data easier if there was a post ID to match on, making it possible
   to collect all the record that contain the same post ID. In theory it can be 
   possible to have the same submit_time for more than one form, making a select
   on submit_time would not return the correct data. Or am I wrong?

 * As I said, the plugin ensures there are not duplicates. Even if two posts arrive
   at the same time.
