Yes, it's a PRNG, but even if the total period is at least 2^64, that doesn't guarantee no repeated 64-bit values unless the output reflects the entire state, no? ISTR SQLite using (A)RC4. And that doesn't help between connections. ---> Drake Wilson _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
