Question

Using VB.Net and SQL Server

Table1

Id             Value .....

1001P0010001   100
1001P0010002   200
1001P0010003   300
1001P0010004   400
...

I have n columns and rows in table1, from the table1, I want to copy all the column details with new id no…

id no is like this 1001P0020001, 1001P0020002, .......

P002 is next id, P003 is the next Id…..

The first 4 digits and last 4 digits will remain as read from table1, middle 4 digits should change to next series

Expected output

Id             Value .....

1001P0010001   100
1001P0010002   200
1001P0010003   300
1001P0010004   400
1001P0020001   100
1001P0020002   200
1001P0020003   300
1001P0020004   400
...

Which the best way to do this?

I can do it in VB.Net or a SQL query…? Please suggest ways of doing this.
