thanks for responses, the ultimate goal was just to ensure a list of
500 (no more or less) unique random decimals that are 3 places which
would be generated only one time. Currently I'm storing them as a float
in the mysql database.

Do yourself a favor and change your migration with a line like this:

  t.decimal :number, :precision => 10, :scale => 3

That's all it takes to use decimals (with 3 digits following the decimal point)
in the database too.

HTH,

Peter
