Manual Creation of Gift Certificate Numbers

Hi -
I had a client who decided to manually created their own gift certificates (hard copies) for an event and gave out about 40 of them to be used on their web site. Since BV creates it's own numbers, or codes, I'm wondering if it is possible to manually modify the gift certificate codes in the dbo.bvc_GiftCertificate table to match their numbers. The way I see it, I might have to do the following:
1. Create certificate product (say $25.00) in the products area
2. Purchase the gift certificate product to get a redeemable certificate created in the DB
3. Manually change the CertificateCode in the database table
4. Repeat 39 times :(
It looks like it wouldn't be hard to manually create redeemable GC's in the table, however, they all have unique BVIN's and LineItemID's so I don't know how to go about doing it that way. Huge PITA...
Thanks for any help!

Here's a SQL script that we wrote to generate gift certificates without a corresponding gift certificate product OR order. In other words, you can use this to arbitrarily generate gift certificates of any amount; just set the @amount variable at the top of the script. This script generates a certificate code like this: GIFT100-2749699242 Here's the script: Code:
DECLARE @amount DECIMAL
SET @amount = 100.00
INSERT INTO bvc_GiftCertificate(bvin, LineItemId, CertificateCode, DateIssued, OriginalAmount, CurrentAmount, AssociatedProductId, LastUpdated)
VALUES(LOWER(NEWID()), '', 'GIFT' + CAST(@amount AS VARCHAR) + '-' + CAST(CAST(ROUND(RAND((DATEPART(mm, GETDATE()) * 100000 )+ (DATEPART(ss, GETDATE()) * 1000 )+ DATEPART(ms, GETDATE()) ) * 10000000000,0,1) AS bigint) AS NVARCHAR), GETDATE(), @amount, @amount, '', GETDATE())
SELECT top 1 *
FROM bvc_GiftCertificate
ORDER BY DateIssued desc
