Build

You can build the RPM / DEB packages for pg_random using pig build:

pig build pkg pg_random         # build RPM / DEB packages

Install

You can install pg_random directly. First, make sure the PGDG and PIGSTY repositories are added and enabled:

pig repo add pgsql -u          # Add repo and update cache

Install the extension using pig or apt/yum/dnf:

Install

pig install pg_random;          # Install for current active PG version

pig

pig ext install -y pg_random -v 18  # PG 18
pig ext install -y pg_random -v 17  # PG 17
pig ext install -y pg_random -v 16  # PG 16
pig ext install -y pg_random -v 15  # PG 15
pig ext install -y pg_random -v 14  # PG 14

dnf

dnf install -y pg_random_18       # PG 18
dnf install -y pg_random_17       # PG 17
dnf install -y pg_random_16       # PG 16
dnf install -y pg_random_15       # PG 15
dnf install -y pg_random_14       # PG 14

apt

apt install -y postgresql-18-random   # PG 18
apt install -y postgresql-17-random   # PG 17
apt install -y postgresql-16-random   # PG 16
apt install -y postgresql-15-random   # PG 15
apt install -y postgresql-14-random   # PG 14

Create Extension:

CREATE EXTENSION random;

Usage

random: reproducible random data generators for PostgreSQL

Provides functions to generate random values for various data types with reproducible output controlled by a seed.

CREATE EXTENSION random;

Functions

All functions accept seed (for reproducibility) and nvalues (number of distinct values).

Function	Description
`random_string(seed, nvalues, min_length, max_length)`	Random ASCII string
`random_bytea(seed, nvalues, min_length, max_length)`	Random bytea
`random_int(seed, nvalues, min_value, max_value)`	Random 32-bit integer
`random_bigint(seed, nvalues, min_value, max_value)`	Random 64-bit integer
`random_real(seed, nvalues, min_value, max_value)`	Random 32-bit float
`random_double_precision(seed, nvalues, min_value, max_value)`	Random 64-bit float
`random_inet(seed, nvalues)`	Random INET address (/32 mask)
`random_cnet(seed, nvalues)`	Random CIDR with masks 8/16/24/32
`random_cnet2(seed, nvalues)`	Random CIDR with equal fraction per mask length
`random_macaddr(seed, nvalues)`	Random 6-byte MAC address
`random_macaddr8(seed, nvalues)`	Random 8-byte MAC address

Examples

-- Generate reproducible random integers
SELECT random_int(42, 100, 1, 1000) FROM generate_series(1, 10);

-- Random strings of length 5-10
SELECT random_string(42, 1000, 5, 10) FROM generate_series(1, 5);

-- Random IP addresses
SELECT random_inet(42, 256) FROM generate_series(1, 5);
