Hello guys,
i was using the tmdb id as primary key for generating a local film database for my own movies and I used the tmdb id for updating the movie information regulary. But now i recognized that the IDs change over time. I wonder why the IDs are not fix, and if old IDs are assigned to other movies?Then i would have to check every time if the belonging film is correct during updating.

Hi there,
ID’s do not change. What you may have seen is a duplicate that was deleted. In these cases, it is TMDb policy to keep the earliest (smallest) ID. Although from time to time, a moderator may have chosen the larger ID to keep.

Thanks for the information. But what about the ID from the deleted duplicated movie? Won't it be reassigned to another new movie in the database?

No problem. No, deleted ID’s are never reused.
