Number 10000 you have to store in application .. it's magic constant. It similar our statistics. And sometimes you have to actualise it. This is stochastic methods, so it's possible so it doesn't return any value, and you have to repeat it. Using this method expect knowledge about generating random numbers. This method is far to ideal, but on databases with big traffic only this is usable.
