Is It Possible to Have Two Databases with the Same Replica ID?

Is It Possible to Have Two Databases with the Same Replica ID?

Document Number:  1091457

Problem
How is the Replica ID generated when creating a new database? Is it possible to have two databases with the same replica ID?

Content
The replica ID is the hexadecimal representation of the year, month, day, hour, minute, second of when a database was created, based on the local PC internal clock.

Creating databases rapidly on the same server would not duplicate Replica ID's unless the Server time was set backwards or the server was rebooted, allowing it to traverse the same time/date that it had used to generate prior replica IDs.  However, fast creation of databases on two separate servers could produce databases with the same replica ID.
