[Quoted] [Quoted] this may be a pissant question, but why not use a sequence, and simply use [Quoted] ORACLE's random assignment from that sequence? Assign the sequence no [Quoted] maximum number, and don't choose the numbers in order..... I suppose this may be limiting, as far as security, or where you can access the number from, but for simply purposes, is this not a viable alternative?
