Solved it. Do not need a table any-more and generate Randomiser in the
correct way:
SELECT Randomiser
, COUNT(*) AS Count
FROM (
WITH RECURSIVE
cnt(x) AS (
SELECT 1
UNION ALL
SELECT x + 1 FROM cnt
LIMIT 1.1E6
)
SELECT x
, ABS(RANDOM()) % 7 AS Randomiser
FROM cnt
ORDER BY x
)
GROUP BY Randomiser
ORDER BY Randomiser
And this gives:
"0" "157139"
"1" "157865"
"2" "156849"
"3" "157226"
"4" "156916"
"5" "157230"
"6" "156775"
By the way: it is only slightly faster as the version where I used the
table.
