Moving to -general, which is the proper list for this. (BCC -hackers)

You could create a temp table with the random value and JOIN to it:

CREATE TEMP TABLE rnd AS SELECT random()*45000;

Another option might be to use a prepared statement:

PREPARE test AS SELECT ... WHERE customer_id = $1;
EXECUTE test( random()*45000 );
