I have a problem. I'm calling a function in a package that gives a random string. When I call this in SQL+ I get unique results ever time I do my select. When I place this same select statement inside a compile package, it returns the same random string time after time.
I believe that this has something to do with Oracle caching the result.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Ryan.

The randomize package was actually downloaded off this site from the scripts section. It works extremely well when you call the function from SQL+. This is the call to get a random string.
"select random.rand_string(20) from dual;"
If I place this inside my package, and call for a random string multiple times I'll get the same string. If I wait 5 minutes or so, I'll get a new string generated, but repeated if called for again multiple times. It seems there is a 'time out' where if you wait long enough before running the select it will flush the buffer.
