ID convention for nodes

Hi @gorillastanley Yes, this is correct. Having specific id field reduces the range of data to cover.

Here’s another thought from a design perspective for consideration: what if two different transactions report the same company id? This could happen because it came in from different sources and there are even slight difference in company names, and addresses (not obvious duplicates). In these cases, blank nodes (dgraph created ids) can help allowing you to first store these duplicates, and then merge them later on.
