Increment an order number which is not pure numbers

44 New Member
Hi there,

I am looking for a method to insert an order number which is in the following text format.

TT001, TT002, TT003, etc.

How could I achieve this in MS SQL Server?

Thanks ahead.

The order number is perfectly legal if inserted in a text field.
I assume you are concerned about this being a primary key.
Well a PK does not have to be an auto-increment or even an integer.
It is just faster if it is

Hi, I need a way to use random numbers in c++. In my c++ project, when using the mingw compiler I used a mersenne twister that is publicly available and this did its job well. Now I have shelled out on VC++ 6.0 compiling that same code is proving difficult. I am not too worried how I generate random numbers in c++, as long as it is sufficiently random. Can anybody help me out in getting what I want from VC++?

Hi there! I'm working on a medium-sized .NET web application written in c#. We are using Visual Studio 2003 for development and Visual Source Safe as our code repository. Occasionally, we do a build and a deployment to our production server using a batch script which extracts the latest version of our code from VSS, compiles it and copies it onto the production server. All that is good and well, but I would like to add a small feature to...

In VB6 there is Auto Increment check box in Project Properties, which allow you have a new version every time you compile the project. Is there any easy way to have this feature in VB 2005? Some of my blocks of code check and compare versions of EXE and DLLs located on the local workstation and the server. So it's very important for me to have an incremented number in case the project was rebuilt. It can be done manually, of course, but I...

Hi, I have had some good fortune on this site so I am back and I must iterate I am a beginer. I am having some problems getting to grips with the right technique to manage variables and adding a unique order number to a customer order form. I have 4 stages to my order form. Stage 1 involves the user selecting a link based on what they want. The link then sets 2 variables. $type and $fault based on the link they have chosen.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
