Great answer from Walt.

But do you really need a 9 digit number? You could also use a UUID as Identifier:

Generating unique IDs[^]

I have no idea what your application or constraints are, but if you simply keep a counter and increment it each time you get a number, that will give you a unique id each time. If you use decimal digits, there would be 10^9 of those available before repeating. If you use hexadecimal, there would be 16^9, etc.

If you need something more random, then you will probably have to generate a random number and check to see that it hasn''t been used before, which likely means storing up to 10^9 of those.
