I afraid, if this is going to generate any duplicate random numbers in range from 1 to 100? If yes then how can you avoid that?
If this generates the duplicate numbers then the same record will be picked up more than once.
Cheers,
McLan

bn_rand
BN_rand(3) OpenSSL BN_rand(3)
NAME
BN_rand, BN_pseudo_rand - generate pseudo-random number
LIBRARY
libcrypto, -lcrypto
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bn.h>
int BN_rand(BIGNUM *rnd, int bits, int top, int bottom);
int BN_pseudo_rand(BIGNUM *rnd, int bits, int top, int bottom);
int BN_rand_range(BIGNUM *rnd, BIGNUM *range);
int BN_pseudo_rand_range(BIGNUM *rnd, BIGNUM *range);
DESCRIPTION
BN_rand() generates a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number of bits bits in length and stores it in rnd. If top is -1, the most
significant bit of the random number can be zero. If top is 0, it is set to 1, and if top is 1, the two most significant bits of the number
will be set to 1, so that the product of two such random numbers will always have 2*bits length. If bottom is true, the number will be
odd.
BN_pseudo_rand() does the same, but pseudo-random numbers generated by this function are not necessarily unpredictable. They can be used
for non-cryptographic purposes and for certain purposes in cryptographic protocols, but usually not for key generation etc.
BN_rand_range() generates a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number rnd in the range 0 <lt>= rnd < range. BN_pseudo_rand_range()
does the same, but is based on BN_pseudo_rand(), and hence numbers generated by it are not necessarily unpredictable.
The PRNG must be seeded prior to calling BN_rand() or BN_rand_range().
RETURN VALUES
The functions return 1 on success, 0 on error. The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
SEE ALSO
openssl_bn(3), ERR_get_error(3), openssl_rand(3), RAND_add(3), RAND_bytes(3)
HISTORY
BN_rand() is available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. BN_pseudo_rand() was added in OpenSSL 0.9.5. The top == -1 case and the
function BN_rand_range() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.6a. BN_pseudo_rand_range() was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6c.
