/** Pseudo-random number generation functions.
  * The function can be called without arguments or with one argument.
  * The argument is ignored and only serves to ensure that several calls to one function are considered different and do not stick together.
  *
  * Example:
  * SELECT rand(), rand() - will output two identical columns.
  * SELECT rand(1), rand(2) - will output two different columns.
  *
  * Non-cryptographic generators:
  *
  * rand   - linear congruential generator 0 .. 2^32 - 1.
  * rand64 - combines several rand values to get values from the range 0 .. 2^64 - 1.
  *
  * randConstant - service function, produces a constant column with a random value.
  *
  * The time is used as the seed.
  * Note: it is reinitialized for each block.
  * This means that the timer must be of sufficient resolution to give different values to each block.
