Create a function to convert integers to strings according to your format.

Create a table with IDENTITY column ID and computed column containing result of that function calculated from ID.

CREATE TABLE...

Dinesh,

Jeff posted more clear and effective solution just 1 post above.

Actually he has to post this solution twice a week, because people don't bother to read previous postings.

You may copy data from static table, not from DELETED.

FROM deleted D

INNER JOIN dbo.MyTable T ON D.ID = T.ID

I cannot put the code within a stored procedure and pass the table name through.

No, you can.

Put @TABLENAME@ in your script instead of actual table...

select t1.id, COALESCE (t3.[Name], t2.[Name], t1.[Name]) as Name

from Table1 t1

left join Table2 t2 on t1.id = t2.id

left join Table3...

COUNT does not take NULLs.

Where and when "select dbo.getDate()" works fine?

Searching for '%company%' you'll get all records having 'accompany', 'accompanying', etc.

Is it what are you ready to accept?

Spaces before and after would not help because you probably need options '"Company"',...
