Hello Profoxers,
I'm trying to generate a good sample data and I'm trying to generate it
as quickly as possible of course. I'm not sure I think I know =RAND()
like I think I did.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
[1] Generate log data for a random number of users
[2] ... that visit a random number of customer records
[3] .... that generate a random number activities
[4] ..... that occur at random times of the day
Each of the above steps became a function in my data generation, and one
of the first lines is "=RAND(-1)" but I think since I'm in such a tight
loop, that the RAND() is seeding off of the clock so I'm not getting a
good random seed.
Should I just give up and call some webservice to get better random
numbers, or is there something that I'm not understanding?
-Kevin
