I have a udf that creates a random string that works great. The problem is, looping over this for multiple inserts into a db causes problems because it loops to quickly. Someone mentioned that all the random functions in CF use the current time/date as a seed. The way around this is to either slow down the loop, or to append something on the end of the string, in this case the index of the loop.
Does anyone have a way to generate random numbers as fast as I need them?
