没事做简单看了一下Oracle随机函数的取法:
dbms_random
CREATE
OR
REPLACE
PACKAGE
SYS.dbms_random
AS
------------
--OVERVIEW
--
--This package should be installed as SYS.It generates a sequence of
--random 38-digit Oracle numbers.The expected length of the sequence
--is about power(10,28), which is hopefully long enough.
--
--------
--USAGE
--
--This is a random number generator.Do not use for cryptography.
--For more options the cryptographic toolkit should be used.
--
--By default, the package is initialized with the current user
--name, current time down to the second, and the current session.
--
--If this package is seeded twice with the same seed, then accessed
--in the same way, it will produce the same results in both cases.
--
--------
--EXAMPLES
--
--To initialize or reset the generator, call the seed procedure as in:
--execute dbms_random.seed(12345678);
--or
--execute dbms_random.seed(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
--To get the random number, simply call the function, e.g.
--my_random_number BINARY_INTEGER;
--my_random_number := dbms_random.random;
--or
--my_random_real NUMBER;
--my_random_real := dbms_random.value;
--To use in SQL statements:
--select dbms_random.value from dual;
--insert into a values (dbms_random.value);
--variable x NUMBER;
--execute :x := dbms_random.value;
--update a set a2=a2+1 where a1 < :x;
-- Seed with a binary integer
PROCEDURE

IN
BINARY_INTEGER

-- Seed with a string (up to length 2000)

dbms_random;
简单得说,通过dbms_random包调用随机数的方法大致有4种:
1、dbms_random.normal
这个函数不带参数,能返回normal distribution的一个number类型,所以基本上随机数会在-1到1之间。
简单测试了一下,产生100000次最大能到5左右:
SQL> declare
2 i number:=0;
3 j number:=0;
4 begin
5 for k in 1 .. 100000 loop
6 i:= dbms_random.normal;
7 if i > j
8 then j:=i;
9 end if;
10 end loop;
11 dbms_output.put_line(j);
12 end;
13 /
5.15325081797418404136433867107468983182
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed
2、dbms_random.random
这个也没有参数,返回一个从-power(2,31)到power(2,31)的整数值
3、dbms_random.value
这个函数分为两种,一种是没有参数,则直接返回0-1之间的38位小数
SQL
> column value format 9.99999999999999999999999999999999999999
SQL
> select dbms_random.value from dual;
VALUE
-----------------------------------------
.58983014999643548701631750396301271752
第二种是加上两个参数a、b,则返回值在a、b之间的38位小数
SQL> column value format 999.999999999999999999999999999999999999
SQL> select dbms_random.value(100,500) value from dual;
VALUE
-----------------------------------------
412.150194612502916808701157054098274240
注意:无论前面几位,小数点之后都是38位
4、dbms_random.string
这个函数必须带有两个参数,前面的字符指定类型,后面的数值指定位数(最大60)
类型说明:
'u','U':upper case alpha characters only
'l','L':lower case alpha characters only
'a','A':alpha characters only (mixed case)
'x','X':any alpha-numeric characters (upper)
'p','P':any printable characters
SQL> column value format a30
SQL> select dbms_random.string('u',30) value from dual;
VALUE
------------------------------
VTQNLGISELPXEDBXKUZLXKBAJMUTIA
SQL> select dbms_random.string('l',30) value from dual;
VALUE
------------------------------
uqygsbquingfqdytpgjvdoblxeglgu
SQL> select dbms_random.string('a',30) value from dual;
VALUE
------------------------------
NGTGkQypuSWhBfcrHiOlQwOUXkqJjy
SQL> select dbms_random.string('x',30) value from dual;
VALUE
------------------------------

SQL> select dbms_random.string('p',30) value from dual;
VALUE

5、关于seed
可以设置seed来确定随机数的起始点,对于相同的seed而言,随机数的任意一次变化都将是确定的。
就是说,如果在某一时刻调用了seed,之后第一次产生的随机数是4,第二次是6,第三次是1,那么当你再次调用相同的seed之后,一次产生的随机数还是4、6、1
seed有两种,一种是数值型的,一种是字符型(最大长度2000)的
-- Seed with a binary integer
PROCEDURE
seed(val
IN
BINARY_INTEGER
);
PRAGMA
restrict_references
(seed,
WNDS
);
-- Seed with a string (up to length 2000)
PROCEDURE
seed(val
IN
VARCHAR2
);
PRAGMA
restrict_references
(seed,
WNDS
);
6、关于initialize
一个integer参数,注释说的很清楚了:
-- Obsolete, just calls seed(val)
PROCEDURE
initialize(val
IN
BINARY_INTEGER
);
PRAGMA
restrict_references
(initialize,
WNDS
);
