this is OK, but I think the efficiency is very low. I think put rand outside MySQL is a better choice.

Really, 1 repository for 1 buggy code line?

For range (min..max( (min inclusive, max exclusive) it is:
FLOOR( RAND() * (max-min) + min )

For range (min..max) (min+max inclusive) it is:
FLOOR( RAND() * (max-min+1) + min )
