fnGenerateRandomString

SQL function to generate random string
I thought it would be easier to find something like this online, but did not find it, so, faster for me to create new one.
Uses a view, create view code is already found below.
Currently is generating random with upper case and numbers only, uncomment lines indicated to enable other options, like lower case
To use:
select schema.fnGenerateRandomString(15)
