If you have 100+ users in your system accessing the same table,
you are so in trouble using

Exec GetNextId @NewID OUTPUT

to get unique @NewID value. Under stress, your technique will not guarantee that @NewID value is unique between calls.
An IDENTITY column will ensure that.

We want system wide uniqueid for a person. Identity column will work for only one table.

How is unique id generated by your udf differing from identity generated value?

There are 5 tables.
The udf looks at all the tables and get next uniqueid out of all
tables.

UniqueID is still an INT?
And from the GetNextID you get an unique id for all those five tables?

GetNextID is stored procedure, not an UDF.
If GetNextID where an UDF, there would be no problem incorporating that in the set-based solution.

Please tell us which application this is, and which vendor wrote this application, so I know what to avoid to buy.

yes, that's the stored procedure. We are sharing this uniqueid for address table,contact table and some more tables.

We already bought this and can't do anything about it.

If you bought the software, what is the purpose for this topic? To copy the addresses and faculty belongings and link them?
Shouldn't this be part of the software?

What is the software name?
