SELECT 12345[highlight="#ffff11"]00000[/highlight] + ID, so as long as your Id is less than 99999, it fits your criteria.

Trying create a column with leading code 12345 along with id number. 12345 999999999.

so, a string that happens to contain numbers then, since you included a space?

i would use an identity field, and a persisted calculated column.

CREATE TABLE MYTable (ID int identity(1,1) not null primary key, Sometext varchar(30))

ALTER TABLE MYTABLE ADD

CompanyID AS '12345 ' + RIGHT('000000000' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,ID),9) PERSISTED
