Util_GeneratePrimes
Prime Generator
By Jesse Roberge - YeshuaAgapao@Yahoo.com
Generates prime numbers and puts them into a table for future reference by adhoc queries and database and application code.
Uses a table of numbers to enable computation with a set-based insert..select.
If you don't have a table of numbers, you can use one of my generators to set one up - http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Authors/Scripts/Jesse_Roberge/13538/
You may have to tweak this code to point to where you ultimately have/place your table of numbers.
a recursive-CTE fn_numbers is faster than a table of numbers only with <1000 numbers.
Utilizing a table numbers with 386,884 numbers, it generates 61,924 prime numbers (772,517 max) in 7.2 seconds on my Dell Inspiron M170 laptop (single-core 2.0GHZ centrino),
also generates Strong, Sophhie, and safe flags (1.5 additional seconds).
The Sophie flag only works on about first half of the prime numbers generated
if 60,000 priimes are generated, about 30,000th-60,000th primes will not have the sophie flag set even if they are sophie.
Required Input Parameters
none
Optional Input Parameters
@MinPrime=1 The minimum prime value to generate. You will usually want this at 1
@MaxPrime=2097152 The maximum prime value to generate.
The default value should use all of the values for most peoples' table of numbers
(622^2=386884 for mine; to completely fill 2-level deep clustered index).
Usage:
EXECUTE Admin.Util_GeneratePrimes @MinPrime=1, @MaxPrime=65536
