Hi folks,

I have a table wich contains my users... I want to insert to each user
a random password, so I need a random function. Is there such function
in Postgres? I just found the RANDOM which generates values between
0.0 and 1.0.

Any help or suggestion will be appreciated. :)

I would do someting like:

select substring(md5(random() || random()), 5, 8);

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drkae

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
