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
