How to code to get next letter?
For integer, I use i = i+1, how to code in letter sequence?
If it is letter "C", I need "D", if it is "M", I need "N" and so on.

[code]
declare @c char(1)

select @c = 'C'

select char(ascii(@c) + 1)
[/code]

What do you want if it's 'Z'?

Hopefully a translation back to 'a'.

declare	@test table (ch char)

insert	@test
select	'A' union all
select	'B' union all
select	'Y' union all
select	'Z'

select ch, CHAR(64 + (1 + ascii(ch) % 90) % 64)
from @test

Why do you need this?
Can you give us more details?
