I’m using Guids as primary keys in my database and was wondering if it is ever possible that a duplicate Guid might be generated. Are Guids guaranteed to be unique?

You can check more info on that here.
A possible solution to avoid duplicate guids (if you still want one) is to use the UNIQUE constraint.
