This may not be a very smart idea (depending on if you have foreign keys, or
links to the primary key from other tables, etc.), but perhaps you can copy
your table, then delete your primary key, then delete the primary key
column, then add a new primary key column, then create a function that adds
unique numbers to the new column, then add the primary key constraint back
into your table.
Lots of work, but if it is what you are looking for... Keep in mind, I'm a
novice reading a NOVICE list.
