...I say, I am just guessing (and yet I think this is quite possible)...

...I expect that one could use these TSQL functions...

RAND ( [ seed ] )
Returns a random float value from 0 through 1.

ROUND ( numeric_expression , length [ , function ] )
Returns a numeric expression, rounded to the specified length or precision.

CHAR ( int )
A string function that converts an int ASCII code to a character.

...and some string contatenation to get the job done.

That said, I will add that doing something like this is MUCH better suited to middle-tier logic rather than the database, IMHO.

HTH.

Thank you.
