Has anyone come across a random number generation function written in
PL/SQL?
We are in need of random number generation over a variable domain of
numbers.
For example: we may need 20 random numbers between 1 and 75, and later
30
random numbers between 1 and 2,000. Some of the algorithms we have
implemented from textbooks (pseudo-random number generation) go into
repeating
loops after a short period of time.
If anyone has a PL/SQL random number algorithm they can share, we would greatly appreciate it.
