Hash index equality mock concept in Python

A simple hash index class in Python that stores key-value pairs in buckets and demonstrates basic equality-based lookup.

hash-index hash-table database
Python
class HashIndex:
    def __init__(self):
        self._buckets = {}

    def insert(self, key, value):
        """Insert a key-value pair into the hash index."""
        index = hash(key) % 10
        if index not in self._buckets:
            self._buckets[index] = []
        self._buckets[index].append((key, value))…

UUID vs sequential primary key in Python

Simulate and compare UUID vs sequential primary key generation in Python to understand trade-offs in ordering and uniqueness.

uuid primary-key database
Python
import uuid

def create_record_with_uuid(name):
    record_id = uuid.uuid4()
    return {"id": record_id, "name": name}

def create_record_with_sequential_id(name, counter):
    counter += 1
    return {"id": counter, "name": name}
