Greetings!
The development docs state that one can use SET SEED to seed the
random number generator, yet:
newweb=# select version();
version
--------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 7.1RC1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.96
(1 row)
newweb=# set seed = 0.5;
ERROR: 'seed' is not a valid option name
SELECT setseed() works, although.
newweb=# select setseed(0.5);
setseed
------------
1073741823
(1 row)
Is this a bug or is SET SEED now obsolete?
