* Additional .gitignore entries * Merge a bunch of small articles about system tables into single one * Merge a bunch of small articles about formats into single one * Adapt table with formats to English docs too * Add SPb meetup link to main page * Move Utilities out of top level of docs (the location is probably not yet final) + translate couple articles * Merge MacOS.md into build_osx.md * Move Data types higher in ToC * Publish changelog on website alongside documentation * Few fixes for en/table_engines/file.md * Use smaller header sizes in changelogs * Group up table engines inside ToC * Move table engines out of top level too * Specificy in ToC that query language is SQL based. Thats a bit excessive, but catches eye. * Move stuff that is part of query language into respective folder * Move table functions lower in ToC * Lost redirects.txt update * Do not rely on comments in yaml + fix few ru titles * Extract major parts of queries.md into separate articles * queries.md has been supposed to be removed * Fix weird translation * Fix a bunch of links * There is only table of contents left * "Query language" is actually part of SQL abbreviation * Change filename in README.md too * fix mistype

# Functions for generating pseudo-random numbers
|
|
|
|
Non-cryptographic generators of pseudo-random numbers are used.
|
|
|
|
All the functions accept zero arguments or one argument.
|
|
If an argument is passed, it can be any type, and its value is not used for anything.
|
|
The only purpose of this argument is to prevent common subexpression elimination, so that two different instances of the same function return different columns with different random numbers.
|
|
|
|
## rand
|
|
|
|
Returns a pseudo-random UInt32 number, evenly distributed among all UInt32-type numbers.
|
|
Uses a linear congruential generator.
|
|
|
|
## rand64
|
|
|
|
Returns a pseudo-random UInt64 number, evenly distributed among all UInt64-type numbers.
|
|
Uses a linear congruential generator.
