Comment on How to create a 1M record table with a single queryparentComments−em5005yIf you're importing from command line tools, you might as well use the specialized `shuf` tool: shuf -i 1-$bignum or for random numbers with replacement shuf -i 1-$bignum -r -n $bignum These give you a sample of random integers. `shuf` is part of GNU coreutils, so present in most Linux installs (but not on macOS).−fouc5yIt's worth installing GNU coreutils on macOs All the command names are prepended with g, so `gshuf`−jeffbee5yNice yeah that's a good way. Generally the number 1 million is so small I see no reason to do this in any manner other than shell commands.
