Hi,
I am running performance simulation against a DB. I want to randomly pull different records from a large table. However the table has no columns that hold sequential integer values (1..MAX), i.e. the columns all have "holes" (due to earlier filtering).
what do yo umean ? you can restrict range of integer column (or any other type) with constraints, for instance CHECK foo( a between 1 and 100);
Also PG does not have a concept of an auto-increment pseudo-column like Oracle's "rownum". Any suggestions?
not true - it has sequences, and pseudo type serial. Rtfm!.
