If you wanted to generate a pseudorandom alphanumeric string using T-SQL, how would you do it? How would you exclude characters like dollar signs, dashes, and slashes from it?

When generating random data, specially for test, it is very useful to make the data random, but reproducible. The secret is to use explicit seeds for the random function, so that when the test is run again with the same seed, it produces again exactly the same strings. Here is a simplified example of a function that generates object names in a reproducible manner:
alter procedure usp_generateIdentifier
@minLen int = 1
, @maxLen int = 256
, @seed int output
, @string varchar(8000) output
as
begin
set nocount on;
declare @length int;
declare @alpha varchar(8000)
, @digit varchar(8000)
, @specials varchar(8000)
, @first varchar(8000)
declare @step bigint = rand(@seed) * 2147483647;
select @alpha = 'qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm'
, @digit = '1234567890'
, @specials = '_@# '
select @first = @alpha + '_@';
set @seed = (rand((@seed+@step)%2147483647)*2147483647);
select @length = @minLen + rand(@seed) * (@maxLen-@minLen)
, @seed = (rand((@seed+@step)%2147483647)*2147483647);
declare @dice int;
select @dice = rand(@seed) * len(@first),
@seed = (rand((@seed+@step)%2147483647)*2147483647);
select @string = substring(@first, @dice, 1);
while 0 < @length
begin
select @dice = rand(@seed) * 100
, @seed = (rand((@seed+@step)%2147483647)*2147483647);
if (@dice < 10) -- 10% special chars
begin
select @dice = rand(@seed) * len(@specials)+1
, @seed = (rand((@seed+@step)%2147483647)*2147483647);
select @string = @string + substring(@specials, @dice, 1);
end
else if (@dice < 10+10) -- 10% digits
begin
select @dice = rand(@seed) * len(@digit)+1
, @seed = (rand((@seed+@step)%2147483647)*2147483647);
select @string = @string + substring(@digit, @dice, 1);
end
else -- rest 80% alpha
begin
declare @preseed int = @seed;
select @dice = rand(@seed) * len(@alpha)+1
, @seed = (rand((@seed+@step)%2147483647)*2147483647);
select @string = @string + substring(@alpha, @dice, 1);
end
select @length = @length - 1;
end
end
go
When running the tests the caller generates a random seed it associates with the test run (saves it in the results table), then passed along the seed, similar to this:
declare @seed int;
declare @string varchar(256);
select @seed = 1234; -- saved start seed
exec usp_generateIdentifier
@seed = @seed output
, @string = @string output;
print @string;
exec usp_generateIdentifier
@seed = @seed output
, @string = @string output;
print @string;
exec usp_generateIdentifier
@seed = @seed output
, @string = @string output;
print @string;
Update 2016-02-17: See the comments bellow, the original procedure had an issue in the way it advanced the random seed. I updated the code, and also fixed the mentioned off-by-one issue.
回答2:
Using a guid
SELECT @randomString = CONVERT(varchar(255), NEWID())
very short ...
回答3:
Similar to the first example, but with more flexibility:
-- min_length = 8, max_length = 12
SET @Length = RAND() * 5 + 8
-- SET @Length = RAND() * (max_length - min_length + 1) + min_length
-- define allowable character explicitly - easy to read this way an easy to
-- omit easily confused chars like l (ell) and 1 (one) or 0 (zero) and O (oh)
SET @CharPool =
'abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ23456789.,-_!$@#%^&*'
SET @PoolLength = Len(@CharPool)
SET @LoopCount = 0
SET @RandomString = ''
WHILE (@LoopCount < @Length) BEGIN
SELECT @RandomString = @RandomString +
SUBSTRING(@Charpool, CONVERT(int, RAND() * @PoolLength), 1)
SELECT @LoopCount = @LoopCount + 1
END
I forgot to mention one of the other features that makes this more flexible. By repeating blocks of characters in @CharPool, you can increase the weighting on certain characters so that they are more likely to be chosen.
回答4:
Use the following code to return a short string:
SELECT SUBSTRING(CONVERT(varchar(40), NEWID()),0,9)
回答5:
If you are running SQL Server 2008 or greater, you could use the new cryptographic function crypt_gen_random() and then use base64 encoding to make it a string. This will work for up to 8000 characters.
declare @BinaryData varbinary(max)
, @CharacterData varchar(max)
, @Length int = 2048
set @BinaryData=crypt_gen_random (@Length)
set @CharacterData=cast('' as xml).value('xs:base64Binary(sql:variable("@BinaryData"))', 'varchar(max)')
print @CharacterData
回答6:
select left(NEWID(),5)
This will return the 5 left most characters of the guid string

I'm not expert in T-SQL, but the simpliest way I've already used it's like that:
select char((rand()*25 + 65))+char((rand()*25 + 65))
This generates two char (A-Z, in ascii 65-90).
回答8:
Here is a random alpha numeric generator
print left(replace(newid(),'-',''),@length) //--@length is the length of random Num.
回答9:
This worked for me: I needed to generate just three random alphanumeric characters for an ID, but it could work for any length up to 15 or so.
declare @DesiredLength as int = 3;
select substring(replace(newID(),'-',''),cast(RAND()*(31-@DesiredLength) as int),@DesiredLength);
回答10:
For one random letter, you can use:
select substring('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
(abs(checksum(newid())) % 26)+1, 1)
An important difference between using newid() versus rand() is that if you return multiple rows, newid() is calculated separately for each row, while rand() is calculated once for the whole query.
回答11:
I realize that this is an old question with many fine answers. However when I found this I also found a more recent article on TechNet by Saeid Hasani
T-SQL: How to Generate Random Passwords
While the solution focuses on passwords it applies to the general case. Saeid works through various considerations to arrive at a solution. It is very instructive.
A script containing all the code blocks form the article is separately available via the TechNet Gallery, but I would definitely start at the article.

回答14:
I did this in SQL 2000 by creating a table that had characters I wanted to use, creating a view that selects characters from that table ordering by newid(), and then selecting the top 1 character from that view.
CREATE VIEW dbo.vwCodeCharRandom
AS
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT
CodeChar
FROM dbo.tblCharacter
ORDER BY
NEWID()
...
SELECT TOP 1 CodeChar FROM dbo.vwCodeCharRandom
Then you can simply pull characters from the view and concatenate them as needed.
EDIT: Inspired by Stephan's response...
select top 1 RandomChar from tblRandomCharacters order by newid()
No need for a view (in fact I'm not sure why I did that - the code's from several years back). You can still specify the characters you want to use in the table.
回答15:

This uses rand with a seed like one of the other answers, but it is not necessary to provide a seed on every call. Providing it on the first call is sufficient.
This is my modified code.

DROP PROCEDURE usp_generateIdentifier

There are a lot of good answers but so far none of them allow a customizable character pool and work as a default value for a column. I wanted to be able to do something like this:
alter table MY_TABLE add MY_COLUMN char(20) not null
default dbo.GenerateToken(crypt_gen_random(20))
So I came up with this. Beware of the hard-coded number 32 if you modify it.
-- Converts a varbinary of length N into a varchar of length N.
-- Recommend passing in the result of CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM(N).
create function GenerateToken(@randomBytes varbinary(max))
returns varchar(max) as begin
-- Limit to 32 chars to get an even distribution (because 32 divides 256) with easy math.
declare @allowedChars char(32);
set @allowedChars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz012345';
declare @oneByte tinyint;
declare @oneChar char(1);
declare @index int;
declare @token varchar(max);
set @index = 0;
set @token = '';
while @index < datalength(@randomBytes)
begin
-- Get next byte, use it to index into @allowedChars, and append to @token.
-- Note: substring is 1-based.
set @index = @index + 1;
select @oneByte = convert(tinyint, substring(@randomBytes, @index, 1));
select @oneChar = substring(@allowedChars, 1 + (@oneByte % 32), 1); -- 32 is the number of @allowedChars
select @token = @token + @oneChar;
end
return @token;

Sometimes we need a lot of random things: love, kindness, vacation, etc. I have collected a few random generators over the years, and these are from Pinal Dave and a stackoverflow answer I found once. Refs below.

In SQL Server 2012+ we could concatenate the binaries of some (G)UIDs and then do a base64 conversion on the result.
SELECT
textLen.textLen
, left((
select CAST(newid() as varbinary(max)) + CAST(newid() as varbinary(max))
where textLen.textLen is not null /*force evaluation for each outer query row*/
FOR XML PATH(''), BINARY BASE64
),textLen.textLen) as randomText
FROM ( values (2),(4),(48) ) as textLen(textLen) --define lengths here
;
If you need longer strings (or you see = characters in the result) you need to add more + CAST(newid() as varbinary(max)) in the sub select.
回答21:
So I liked a lot of the answers above, but I was looking for something that was a little more random in nature. I also wanted a way to explicitly call out excluded characters. Below is my solution using a view that calls the CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM to get a cryptographic random number. In my example, I only chose a random number that was 8 bytes. Please note, you can increase this size and also utilize the seed parameter of the function if you want. Here is the link to the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/crypt-gen-random-transact-sql
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[VW_CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM_8]
AS
SELECT CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM(8) as [value];
The reason for creating the view is because CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM cannot be called directly from a function.
From there, I created a scalar function that accepts a length and a string parameter that can contain a comma delimited string of excluded characters.
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_GenerateRandomString]
(
@length INT,
@excludedCharacters VARCHAR(200) --Comma delimited string of excluded characters
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(Max)
BEGIN
DECLARE @returnValue VARCHAR(Max) = ''
, @asciiValue INT
, @currentCharacter CHAR;
--Optional concept, you can add default excluded characters
SET @excludedCharacters = CONCAT(@excludedCharacters,',^,*,(,),-,_,=,+,[,{,],},\,|,;,:,'',",<,.,>,/,`,~');
--Table of excluded characters
DECLARE @excludedCharactersTable table([asciiValue] INT);
--Insert comma
INSERT INTO @excludedCharactersTable SELECT 44;
--Stores the ascii value of the excluded characters in the table
INSERT INTO @excludedCharactersTable
SELECT ASCII(TRIM(value))
FROM STRING_SPLIT(@excludedCharacters, ',')
WHERE LEN(TRIM(value)) = 1;
--Keep looping until the return string is filled
WHILE(LEN(@returnValue) < @length)
BEGIN
--Get a truly random integer values from 33-126
SET @asciiValue = (SELECT TOP 1 (ABS(CONVERT(INT, [value])) % 94) + 33 FROM [dbo].[VW_CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM_8]);
--If the random integer value is not in the excluded characters table then append to the return string
IF(NOT EXISTS(SELECT *
FROM @excludedCharactersTable
WHERE [asciiValue] = @asciiValue))
BEGIN
SET @returnValue = @returnValue + CHAR(@asciiValue);
END
END
RETURN(@returnValue);
END
Below is an example of the how to call the function.
SELECT [dbo].[fn_GenerateRandomString](8,'!,@,#,$,%,&,?');

回答22:
Here's one I came up with today (because I didn't like any of the existing answers enough).
This one generates a temp table of random strings, is based off of newid(), but also supports a custom character set (so more than just 0-9 & A-F), custom length (up to 255, limit is hard-coded, but can be changed), and a custom number of random records.
Here's the source code (hopefully the comments help):
/**

* snippet. Changing these variables will alter the entire
* outcome of this script. Try not to break everything.

* @var {char(62)} charset The characters that may appear within a random value.
*/
-- Define the parameters
declare @count int = 10
declare @length int = 60
declare @charset char(62) = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789'
/**
* We're going to define our random table to be twice the maximum
* length (255 * 2 = 510). It's twice because we will be using
* the newid() method, which produces hex guids. More later.
*/
-- Create the random table
declare @random table (
value nvarchar(510)
)
/**

* so we'll have to make multiple calls depending on length.
*/
-- Determine how many "newid()" calls we'll need per random value
declare @iterations int = ceiling(@length * 2 / 32.0)
/**
* Before we start making multiple calls to "newid", we need to
* start with an initial value. Since we know that we need at
* least one call, we will go ahead and satisfy the count.
*/
-- Iterate up to the count
declare @i int = 0 while @i < @count begin set @i = @i + 1
-- Insert a new set of 32 hex characters for each record, limiting to @length * 2
insert into @random
select substring(replace(newid(), '-', ''), 1, @length * 2)
end
-- Now fill the remaining the remaining length using a series of update clauses
set @i = 0 while @i < @iterations begin set @i = @i + 1
-- Append to the original value, limit @length * 2
update @random
set value = substring(value + replace(newid(), '-', ''), 1, @length * 2)
end
/**
* Now that we have our base random values, we can convert them

* hex characters, and mapping then to one charset value.
*/
-- Convert the base random values to charset random values
set @i = 0 while @i < @length begin set @i = @i + 1
/**
* Explaining what's actually going on here is a bit complex. I'll
* do my best to break it down step by step. Hopefully you'll be
* able to follow along. If not, then wise up and come back.
*/
-- Perform the update
update @random
set value =
/**
* Everything we're doing here is in a loop. The @i variable marks
* what character of the final result we're assigning. We will
* start off by taking everything we've already done first.
*/
-- Take the part of the string up to the current index
substring(value, 1, @i - 1) +
/**
* Now we're going to convert the two hex values after the index,
* and convert them to a single charset value. We can do this
* with a bit of math and conversions, so function away!
*/
-- Replace the current two hex values with one charset value
substring(@charset, convert(int, convert(varbinary(1), substring(value, @i, 2), 2)) * (len(@charset) - 1) / 255 + 1, 1) +

It's not a stored procedure, but it wouldn't be that hard to turn it into one. It's also not horrendously slow (it took me ~0.3 seconds to generate 1,000 results of length 60, which is more than I'll ever personally need), which was one of my initial concerns from all of the string mutation I'm doing.
The main takeaway here is that I'm not trying to create my own random number generator, and my character set isn't limited. I'm simply using the random generator that SQL has (I know there's rand(), but that's not great for table results). Hopefully this approach marries the two kinds of answers here, from overly simple (i.e. just newid()) and overly complex (i.e. custom random number algorithm).
It's also short (minus the comments), and easy to understand (at least for me), which is always a plus in my book.
However, this method cannot be seeded, so it's going to be truly random each time, and you won't be able to replicate the same set of data with any means of reliability. The OP didn't list that as a requirement, but I know that some people look for that sort of thing.
I know I'm late to the party here, but hopefully someone will find this useful.

it's very simply.use it and enjoy.
