I have a 10-character string key field in a database. I've used CRC32 to hash this field, but I'm worrying about duplicates. Could somebody show me the probability of collision in this situation?
P.S.: My string field is unique in the database. If the number of string fields is 1 million, what is the probability of a collision?
Duplicate of Expected collisions for perfect 32bit crc
