There are various methods like using uuid , monotonically_increasing_id(), using row_number() OVER (ORDER BY NULL) AS SK, using md5() or sha() hashing functions etc. Detailed discussion of various options and the pros/cons can be found in this youtube talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF2hRH5WZAU
