Hello.
How can I generate some fixed length unique number (for example 6 character)
based on some number like 1, 2, .. 45, 46, 47 (Generally I will use unique
ID of the database record as base number)?
Thank you.

What's the scope of the required uniqueness? If you're limited to 6
digits, you're not going to be able to generate more than a million of
them, for instance...

Could you be a bit clearer? What's your actual situation? Why can't you
just use the unique ID of the database record as the number itself?

I was thinking the same. Just left pad the number with zeros if for some
reason you needed a total of 6 digits for formatting or something.
