    Hi All,

    Thank you for looking into my question.

    Does anyone have a script that could take the current timestamp and convert that into a random alphanumeric value (30+ digits).

    Thanks

    Why not simply use NEWID() function? Or you want date and time to be a part of the generated random number? I guess sample of the desired output will be nice.

    A 30 character random alpha-numeric generator will generate a shedload of swear words.  Us 2 GUIDs, instead.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
