The three RandomSvce tables are now populated. I do want to rerun some statistical data on some of the seeds that are in the tables before I go live, but I’m happy so far. Trying to load binary data into a SQL blob was a bit of a bitch, because every Google search that I did to figure out how to do it properly led to discussions of “I want to store images in a SQL blob,” followed by “Don’t do that.” Through trial and error, I figured it out myself.

While I’ve loaded the data into the tables and have built the cron-based random bit generator script, I haven’t written the stored procedure to read the bits themselves. That’s next.
