I have a table with over 9000 rows. Each row has some weird ID. I would like to re-set each ID as following 000001,000002,000003, etc… (dynamically). Is there an easy way of doing it?

You can update the value to a number:
x
with toupdate as (
select t.*, row_number() over (order by (select null)) as new_id
from t
)
update toupdate
set id = new_id;
Or if you want a zero-padded, 6 digit, formatted number:
update toupdate
set id = format(new_id, '000000');
