Hi,
I am asked to create barcode for books of library.Each book will have unique barcode.So what i think is to have a column that will have unique values for every book.So for that i think if we can use the primary key value for example "stock serial no" of each book and append it with some stringnlike "BC001","BC002"....

Please let me know how to achieve this!

Thanks in advance

0	Integer data type can't store string. We can use varchar data type to store integer+string. create table book_temp (barcode varchar(20) primary key ,name varchar(20)) create table book (stocknumber varchar(50) primary key ,bookname varchar(20)) insert into book_temp select '001','AAA' union select '002','AAA' union select '003','AAA' union select '004','AAA' union select '001','BBB' insert into book(stocknumber,bookname) (select name+CAST(barcode as varchar(9)),name from #book1) select * from book AAA001 AAA AAA002 AAA AAA003 AAA AAA004 AAA BBB001 BBB Mark as Answer if its helpful to you --- Srihari Coolbharat, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

create table book_temp (barcode varchar(20) primary key ,name varchar(20))
create table book (stocknumber varchar(50) primary key ,bookname varchar(20))

insert into book_temp 
select '001','AAA' union select '002','AAA' union 
select '003','AAA' union select '004','AAA' union select '001','BBB'


insert into book(stocknumber,bookname) (select name+CAST(barcode as varchar(9)),name from #book1)

select * from book

AAA001	AAA
AAA002	AAA
AAA003	AAA
AAA004	AAA
BBB001	BBB
