Answer / nusrath sultana

We can make use of sequence to generate random numbers.
example:
SQL> create sequence seq1 start with 1 increment by 1
maxvalue 100;
SQL>Sequence created.

SQL> create table dup(rollno number(10) primary key,name
varchar2(20) not null);

Table created.

SQL> insert into dup values(seq1.nextval,'&name');
Enter value for name: SAM
old 1: insert into dup values(seq1.nextval,'&name'
new 1: insert into dup values(seq1.nextval,'SAM')

1 row created.

SQL> /

Enter value for name: RAM
old 1: insert into dup values(seq1.nextval,'&name'
new 1: insert into dup values(seq1.nextval,'RAM')

1 row created.

SQL> /
Enter value for name: REENA
old 1: insert into dup values(seq1.nextval,'&name'
new 1: insert into dup values(seq1.nextval,'REENA'

1 row created.

SQL> /
Enter value for name: TINA
old 1: insert into dup values(seq1.nextval,'&name'
new 1: insert into dup values(seq1.nextval,'TINA')

1 row created.

SQL> /
Enter value for name: MONA
old 1: insert into dup values(seq1.nextval,'&name'
new 1: insert into dup values(seq1.nextval,'MONA')

1 row created.

SQL> SELECT * FROM DUP;

ROLLNO NAME
---------- --------------------
1 SAM
