One possibility would be to make a DB table with 2 columns. One where
each row has a value from 00000000 through 99999999, and the other
column marked as for used. When you need to generate the random number
you can query the database for each # not currently used and select
randomly from the values not in use and just update the DB to mark it as
used so it won't come up again. You won't have repeating numbers then.
However it will slow down your application because that is a lot of rows
to go through.
