Inserting random values into column
0
How can we insert random values into a newly created column in a table in SQL Server?
I tried this:
alter table [dbo].[employee] add phoneno int
select * from [dbo].[employee]
update employee set phoneno=(ROUND((RAND(),0)) where phoneno NULL
sql-server

Why do you want to insert random values instead of a placeholder for unknown, such as NULL or 0? Also, with the code you tried, what was the outcome, did it error?
