Hi Rashid,
In XQuery, the current-dateTime() will always return the same value
during the execution of the query. To see this try executing this query:
current-dateTime(),
xdmp:sleep(5000),
current-dateTime()
You'll see that result of current-dateTime() is the same for both calls
even though there was a sleep in there for 5 seconds.
If you're looking for a unique value for some id's you could probably
use xdmp:random() to generate an unsigned 64bit integer. While there is
a small possibility of xdmp:random() returning the same value twice, the
same potential problem exists for xdmp:hash64().
Hope that helps.
