I wouldn't recommend this one unless you've got plenty of time to debug it 
and validate the results.  There are multiple errors in the random number 
generation code, some other bugs I forget the details of right now, and 
the coding on some of the later "optimizations" they throw in are written 
so badly they end up degrading performance with PostgreSQL.

You can find a better version of the random ID functions in the version of 
JDBCBench included in HSQL, http://hsqldb.org/ That's missing some useful 
features Mimer added though, and the HSQL version comes with a funky 
license.  Their version is by no means bug-free either.
