Methods, systems, and computer readable media for recycling order identifiers

A system for recycling order identifiers, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a memory;
• and
• an order management system (OMS) that utilizes an order database, wherein the OMS is implemented using the at least one processor and the memory, wherein the OMS is configured for:
• selecting, using an order block data structure, an order slot identifier from a range of order slot identifiers usable in a database partition of the order database, wherein the order slot identifier is reusable;
• storing order data for an order in the database partition using the order slot identifier;
• purging the order data in the database partition;
• and
• modifying, periodically or aperiodically, the order block data structure to indicate that the order slot identifier is available for reuse, wherein the order block data structure indicates a recycle count associated with usage.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by a processor of a computer cause the computer to perform steps comprising:

• selecting, using an order block data structure, an order slot identifier from a range of order slot identifiers usable in a database partition of an order database, wherein the order slot identifier is reusable;
• storing order data for an order in the database partition using the order slot identifier;
• purging the order data in the database partition;
• and
• modifying, periodically or aperiodically, the order block data structure to indicate that the order slot identifier is available for reuse, wherein the order block data structure indicates a recycle count associated with usage.
