How can I use a column value with the random function? For example, I have a table with a column named STORE_COUNT which is an integer with values from 1 to 5.

     RANDOM(1,2000000000) MOD STORE_COUNT + 1 AS MYCOLUMNX

Generic version with arbitrary minval and maxval:

     random(1,2000000000) mod ( maxval - minval + 1) + minval
