addid

Addid is a term that may be encountered in informal technical writing as a compound of “add” and “ID.” It does not correspond to a widely recognized concept with a standardized definition in major reference works, and its meaning can vary by context. In practice, addid is often used as a placeholder or variable name rather than as a formal concept.

In computing and programming, addid is sometimes used to denote an operation that attaches or generates a unique identifier for an object, record, or session. In pseudo-code or tutorials, a function or routine named addid might accept a data item and return a new item with an ID assigned or associated. The specific implementation depends on the language, framework, and project conventions; common patterns include generating a UUID, incrementing a counter, or linking to an existing identity record.

In data management and analytics, addid may describe a step in an ETL pipeline or identity-resolution workflow where a new identifier is added to records to ensure traceability, deduplication, or referential integrity. It can also appear in database schemas as a column name, hinting at primary keys, surrogate keys, or cross-reference IDs.

In culture or naming, addid is occasionally encountered as a surname or transliteration variant, but such uses are rare and not widely documented in major sources.

Because addid is not an established technical term, its meaning should be inferred from context. See also: add, id, identifier, UUID, surrogate key.
