Can I assign rowguid from the client code instead of using default newid()?

Do I have to use default newid() for the rowguid? I would prefer to pass a
sequential GUID from the client code instead.

Or can I at least use newsequentialid() instead of newid() as the ROWGUID
default?

Yes,
CREATE TABLE dbo.Table1
(
test uniqueidentifier NOT NULL ROWGUIDCOL
) ON [PRIMARY]
ALTER TABLE dbo.Table1 ADD CONSTRAINT
DF_Table1_test DEFAULT (newid()) FOR test
-- Bill

|||Thank you for your response. It seems your code is still using newid(), but
anyway it is not what I was asking. The MS documentation says that one can
create replication ROWGUID column manually as long as it have the following
characteristics:
* The data type as UNIQUEIDENTIFIER.
* The default as NEWID().
* The ROWGUIDCOL property.
* A unique index on the column.
My questions are:
1. Can I use newsequentialid() instead of newid() ?
2. Can I supply GUID from my client code instead of using this default value?
I am interested in transactional replication model with updating subscribers.
