    Hi Experts,

    I need a way to generate some random unique sequences for one of the column (+5 increment for each row)

    sequences as below..

    A00-A05

    A00-A10

    A00-A15

    …………..

    …………..

    …………..

    A00-A95

    A00-B00

    A00-B05

    …………..

    …………..

    …………..

    A00-Z95

    A01-A00

    A01-A05

    …………..

    …………..

    …………..

    …………..

    Z99-Z95

    NOTE : Need to exclude alphabet letters like I and O those easy to confuse letters with numbers should not be used in series sequences

    Please give me some suggestions or script to implement this.

    we are planning to use above series as primary key instead of identity column.

    Thanks in advance.

    Quick suggestion, this is straight forward using the CHAR() function in combination with the ROW_NUMBER and Modulo (%) operator. My question is why doing this?
