Hello angelIII, <br />
<br />
here is what I'm using:<br />
<br />
update tbTable<br />
set totalratings =<br />
Round(((289) * Rand() + 10), 0)<br />
<br />
<br />
The problem is that all records are being updated with the same value.<br />
I want each record to have a different value.

Hello all, <br />
<br />
I am looking for the SQL statement that will update all the rows of my field<br />
with random values between 30-100.<br />
Thus, each record should be filled with a random value, but should not be<br />
the same in all the records. It is ok if some records have the same values though.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?
