Okay so go ahead and do that.

Why?

select max(cust_id)+1 as CustID from customer_master where cust_id like '10000%'

The first question would be WHY?

If you're going to use this as a primary key in a table, DON'T!

Here is an example to generate random number as well as string..

Hope it helps you to understand the logic..and you can create whatever condition you want.


StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
        builder.Append(RandomString(4, true));
        builder.Append(RandomNumber(1000, 9999));


Generate random number
private string RandomString(int size, bool lowerCase)
    {
        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
        Random random = new Random();
        char ch;
        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
        {
            ch = Convert.ToChar(Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(26 * random.NextDouble() + 65)));
            builder.Append(ch);
        }
        if (lowerCase)
            return builder.ToString().ToLower();
        return builder.ToString();
    }


Generate Random Number
private int RandomNumber(int min, int max)
{
    Random random = new Random();
    return random.Next(min, max);
}


You may also apply query to generate serial number
string sqlQuery = "select max(" + colName + ") + 1 from " + tblName;


If you still have any query don't hesitate to ask..
Happy coding.

string sqlQuery = "select max(" + colName + ") + 1 from " + tblName;

And what would happen if two clients executed this code at the same time??

that query doesn't executed at the same time; there must be some time difference between two request so i don't think that may be some problem.
