Random Numbers in PL/SQL

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I need some help.



I have a table with around 27000 records at present and growing.



The primary key is a varchar2(7) ID 1234567 , not created sequentially.



I need to be able to get a random sample of 100 records from the table.



Any ideas ?



Douglas
