Extract the numeric part, increment it and cast it again to varchar with specified length. Try and let us know if you have nay issue.

Take a look at this thread (look at Solution 3). This may not be a solution to your problem but its a tip for you to consider.
Enter formated data in sql like 001,003,087,234[^]

You can generate unique consecutive numbers in SQL server using IDENTITY (Property)[^].

Here is a sample code

SQL

CREATE TABLE #SampleTable
(
	ID INT Identity(1,1),
	Column1 VARCHAR(50)
)

INSERT INTO #SampleTable
SELECT 'Row 1' UNION
SELECT 'Row 2' 

SELECT *, 'SPLR' + REPLICATE('0', 6 - LEN(ID)) + CAST(ID AS VARCHAR) FROM #SampleTable

DROP TABLE #SampleTable

Hi,

try this.

SQL

DECLARE @ID INT = CAST(SUBSTRING('SPLR000001',5,10) AS INT)
SET @ID = @ID + 1
SELECT 'SPLR' + RIGHT(Replicate('0',6) + CAST(@ID AS VARCHAR),6)

Hope it works

Solution 2

1. Fetch your Id(You can also create an Identity column and make use of it, so that avoid manual increment.
2. Genearate yr unique Id.

SQL

'SPLR' + RIGHT('00000' + CAST(Id AS NVARCHAR(10)),6)
