You can use generate-id() like below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
version="1.0">
     <xsl:output method="text"/>
     <xsl:template match="/">
         <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
     </xsl:template>
     <xsl:template match="department">
         <xsl:variable name="id" select="generate-id(.)"/>
         <xsl:text>insert into department values ('</xsl:text>
         <xsl:value-of select="$id"/>
         <xsl:text>', '</xsl:text>
         <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
         <xsl:text>')
         </xsl:text>

         <xsl:apply-templates select="*">
             <xsl:with-param name="depid" select="$id"/>
         </xsl:apply-templates>
     </xsl:template>

     <xsl:template match="member">
         <xsl:param name="depid"></xsl:param>
         <xsl:variable name="id" select="generate-id(.)"/>
         <xsl:text>insert into person values ('</xsl:text>
         <xsl:value-of select="$id"/>
         <xsl:text>', '</xsl:text>
         <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
         <xsl:text>', '</xsl:text>
         <xsl:value-of select="$depid"/>
         <xsl:text>')
         </xsl:text>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
