are episode ID's unique throughout the entire database or only within season/show?

hi
i just want to make sure (see title).
example:
an episode has an ID of 1234. does this mean that there is no other episode with the same id in the entire database? or is it possible that a different show and/or season would also have an episode with id 1234 (which means that in order to make it unique i need to combine episode id with show id/season id)

Globally unique.

To clarify, all IDs (show, episode, etc) are unique for each type.

Even if a show was deleted, the ID wouldn't be used again.
