My friend has the problem as shown below. He asked at StackOverFlow and there is no reply yet till now so I wish to help him to try the luck here. Thanks for everyone that helps.
"I would like to ask if its possible to set up a database table that has a column that auto generates random alphanumerical data that is longer that what UUID can do. I've been using UUID for a while now but I would like to have a longer string of random data in my columns, something similar to that of a token authenticator (around 300+ characters). So when I insert values in columns, this particular column will auto generate data by itself. Thanks in advance."
