sql - How do I generate a (dummy) column of arbitrary length with MonetDB? -
i run equivalent of postgresql's
select * generate_series(1, 10000000)
i've read this:
http://blog.jooq.org/2013/11/19/how-to-create-a-range-from-1-to-10-in-sql/
but suggestions there don't take arbitrary length - query depends on length otherwise replacing number. also, suggestions not apply in monetdb. so, what's best course of action (if any)?
notes: - i'm using version february 2013. answers more recent features welcome, i'm looking for. - assume existing tables don't have enough lines; , not assume that, say, cartesian product of longest table sufficient (or alternatively, maybe that's costly perform).
try with:
select value sys.generate_series(initial_value, end_value, offset);
i have report function quite unstable on jul2015 release causing server process crash. hope have better luck.
if wants generate arbitrary numeric value can use:
select rand();
