Random string for defined set

439522Nov 1 2005 — edited Nov 1 2005

Hello,

How could I generate random string for defined set of letters A,B,C,D ? Using Oracle10g. My version was:

DBMS_RANDOM.SEED('ABCD');
SELECT DBMS_RANDOM.STRING('U',4) into x from dual;

Cannot make it work - didn't see any connection between seed and generated string. Clearly missing something. Please help.
