Hello everyone! I am facing some (probably simple) problems. A snippet of a timestamp column in my table: +----------------------------+ | ts | +============================+ | 1595-04-02 00:00:00.000000 | | 1595-04-02 00:00:00.000000 | | 1595-04-02 00:00:00.000000 | | 1595-04-02 00:00:00.000000 | | 1598-03-25 00:00:00.000000 | +----------------------------+ I want to fill all the times in these fields with a random value (uniformly distributed is fine). This faces me with the following problems: 1) Adding an interval to a timestamp does not seem to be suited for dynamic intervals: This works fine: UPDATE "table" SET ts = (ts + INTERVAL '5000' SECOND); This doesn't: UPDATE "table" SET ts = (ts + INTERVAL (CAST(5000 AS STRING)) SECOND); Does someone maybe know of a way to accomplish this? 2) Does someone know how to normalize the output of the RAND operator available in SQL? It seems to calculate a random BIGINT, and in order for me to normalize it, I would need the maximum value of a BIGINT, which of course is platform dependent. Is there a way to get the max value of BIGINT on the SQL level? Or can I go about this another way? All help is much appreciated! Robin
