HI,
If I use RND() there are chances for repetation of ID.
I need unique ID's.. Any other way to generate such unique ID.
I also tried with UNIQUEKEY() . But the ID's generated were alpha, and I need the ID's to be in numeric.

Thank you

Hi
use RND() not once but several times (like 4 times each time generating 4 digits).
After you get the result, try to read the record with this ID. If record exists (very small chance of that) - repeat all once again.
