Oracle Random Numbers: How to Generate

In Oracle, you can use the DBMS_RANDOM package to generate random numbers. Here is a method for generating random numbers using the DBMS_RANDOM package:

  1. Generate a random number between 0 and 1 using the DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE function.
  2. Choose a random value from the database.
  3. Generate a random integer within a specified range using the DBMS_RANDOM.RANDOM function. For example, generate a random integer between 1 and 10.
  4. Generate a random integer between 1 and 10.
  5. Generate a random string of a specified length using the DBMS_RANDOM.STRING function. For example, generate a random string with 10 characters.
  6. Choose a random string of 10 uppercase letters from the database.

It is important to note that the random numbers generated by the DBMS_RANDOM package are pseudo-random and will generate different random numbers each time a query is made.
