Hello.
How can I generate some fixed length unique number (for example 6 character)
based on some number like 1, 2, .. 45, 46, 47 (Generally I will use unique
ID of the database record as base number)?
Thank you.

What's the scope of the required uniqueness? If you're limited to 6
digits, you're not going to be able to generate more than a million of
them, for instance...

Could you be a bit clearer? What's your actual situation? Why can't you
just use the unique ID of the database record as the number itself?

I was thinking the same. Just left pad the number with zeros if for some
reason you needed a total of 6 digits for formatting or something.

Hello,
I need help with an algoritm that given a set of "n" distinct
numbers will
generate all the possible permutations of fixed length "m" of these
numbers WITH repetitions (a total of n^m possibilities). For example:
given the set {1, 2} would output: 111,112,121,122,211,212,221,222 if
we fix m=3.

I need to generate 2 random numbers in rapid sequence from either PHP or
mysql.
I have not been able to do either. I get the same number back several times
from PHP's mt_rand() and from mysql's RAND().
any ideas?
I suppose I could use the current rancom number as the seed for the next
random number. but would that really work?

Hello,
I am looking to generate a unique ID field on MS. Access. The ID is
with 10 digits with the combination of 5 Letters from the 26 letters
and 5 Numbers from 1 to 9. The letters and numbers are picked
randomly. When I click a button with the VB code on a form, it will
create the ID on a table call "Customer table". Can someone help me on
how to write the VB code to generate the ID??
Thanks in advance for your help!!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
